No I have't measured for myself but I have spoken to a previous QF Capt who did do that as part of his PHD and I didn't get the impression that these figures were off.. Those figures comes from various sources that I have read about ionising cosmic radiation. The CDC in the US (not exactly the company line) refers to an average of 3.07 mSv average annual dose and other estimates in the range of 0.2 to 5 mSv per year... Not sure what you're getting at but if you have some factual evidence or links to studies showing it as being higher than please share.
