radiation dose is realy wierd. You can get more radiation from an hour in the
sun getting a tan than from being scanned at the airport. A tanning bed or a
few hours in front of a cathode ray tube. Then you can replace the lantern
mantle on your camping lantern and breath in more radioactive material than you
could ever get anywhere else. Its not so much what you get exposed to. Its how
much gets in you. Like drinking water or eating food contaminated with
radioactive iodine. Iodised salt does provide some protection and an ordinary
dust mask also helps. One thing that is more damaging in most places is the
latex rubber dust you breath in driving to work and back from your tires.
Without the acid introduced into your lungs from second hand smoke there is
nothing going to remove the rubber dust from your lungs. Cheers Steve
