Out of curiosity, does an attempt to curve fit a decaying exponential to the 14-month daily mean dose offer up anything other than garbage? If so, tau would be of interest, to see if it could match half-lifes of common radioactive materials. Also are you downwind or downstream frm any hospitals or manufacturing sites (or nuky plants) that might experience an accidental release or periodic maintenances of radioactive materials? Cheers.

Nice! I shall do just that. We live 20 miles downwind of the Hinckley point nuclear reactor.
