Radon Map

I found this little number on Wikipedia:

It gives a heatmap for average Radon readings in different parts of the world.

Our area near SF averages 2-5 Bq/m3 of internal emitting Radon (i.e. you breathe it constantly). Other parts of the country are much higher.

Just something to keep in perspective.
