This is extremely misleading. The units, Bq/m^2 are not only inappropriate (decays/second instead of a unit like grays which represent radiation effect) but they're incredibly tiny, yet this isn't clearly shown. One becquerel is a single atom decay. You would have to have readings orders and orders of magnitude (a dozen or so extra 0's tacked onto the end) higher before you'd be even *close* to background radiation from the Earth itself.
