Flight doses for popular routes in Taiwan
The table below shows the doses of Taiwan's popular direct flights. Compared to European and American countries, Taiwan's flights receive lower doses of cosmic radiation because it is located in mid-to-low latitudes. For example, if a person takes a round-trip flight between Taiwan and New York three times in a year, the total dose received in that year is approximately:
157.9 (μSv/round trip) × 3 (times) = 473.7 μSv = 0.4737 mSv
