Let's say you work in the station and your desk is right next to one of these uranium oxide glazed tiles:
- You work about 2k hours per year in the orange office
- That would then be about 200 mSv per year
- "Exposure to 100 mSv a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer risk is clearly evident" (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-quake-radiation-idUSTRE72E14R20110315 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-quake-radiation-idU...)
I guess then that maybe we could (barely) observe a higher incidence of cancer for those who spend a lot of time next to the walls?
- marcosdumay 4y agoThe "glued" on the GP is to be taken almost literally. I bet your desk doesn't put your back supported by the wall. Besides, Uranium radiation is mostly absorbed by the skin, and your skill will be replaced many times on that timeframe.
