Figure 11. Average doses in milligray (mGy) for adults (unless accompanied by a superscripted "a," which denotes a child born January 1, 1951) living in the contiguous United States during the era of atmospheric testing are shown for the most important radionuclides. Note that the radionuclides are organized by half-life, from longest to shortest (in years, y, or days, d), descending, rather than by atomic weight.

Accept for people living in the four corners regions particularly much of Nevada, yeah, that is exactly what I am saying. The world is a HUGE place, and dilution and dispersion work magic. Its not a conspiracy, its obvious, industrial pollution and smoking were rampant for a long time.

(a) The radiation coming out of Fukushima is much less dangerous than say Chernobyl, it has a much shorter half-life.
(b) I don't understand why y'all aren't seeing the obvious, over half of Americans between 1930-1970 smoked tobacco, a known carcinogen, and these put out tons and tons of tobacco smoke a year, into their local homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods. The combined effects of this on smokers and as decades of second hand smoke have easily contributed to our terrifying cancer rates. That, and from the 1920s to the late 1970s industrial pollution was an afterthought, companies literally dumped immense volumes of this shit into the air and water with impunity. Its no brainer. As industrial pollution and smoking rates decline, significantly, we should logically see a decline in cancers. Of course, in the "developing world" both pollution and smoking are on the rise exponentially so as our rates drop the overall rates globally will increase
