Common Radiation Exposures Source of exposureDose in remDose in sievert (Sv) Exposure to cosmic rays during a roundtrip airplane flight from New York to Los Angeles 3 mrem0.03 mSv One dental x-ray4 – 15 mrem0.04 – 0.15 mSv One chest x-ray10 mrem0.1 mSv One mammogram70 mrem0.7 mSv One year of exposure to natural radiation (from soil, cosmic rays, etc. 300 mrem3 mSv

Summary Our results show: no influence from the nuclear power plant „Temelin“ to the environment according to our measurements the value of radiation is increased on asphalt roads or close to big rocks

The project was funded from the budget of the International Visegrad Fund´s program “Small Grants” No and supported by the Southbohemian Region, municipality of the town Veselí nad Lužnicí and group ČEZ a.s and Bukovská voda.
