Charted Representation of Radiation Doses Exposure

radiation chart

One of our readers, Phoenix, let us know about a graphical representation created by Randall Munroe to chart out ionizing radiation doses from different sources. With all the talk and scare about radiation going around from cellphones to nuclear meltdown I found it gave me some perspective. Keep in mind the creator did put disclaimers about the accuracy. Still it is kind of interesting to see how cellphone radiation (which does not produce ionizing radiation) figures into the grand scheme of things.
