This comes from space, originates in distant stars, explosions and stellar winds. The higher you go in the atmosphere the more you get. In Florida, at sea level, I measured 0.06 microSv/hr what can be considered as the natural background there. In Hungary I measured 0.10 microSv/hr. Anything up to about 0.30 microSv/hr is okay. On this flight the dose rate reached 0.30 microSv/hr at 6000 meters. However, this height depends on many things, like solar activity, time of day, location... etc.
wtf where come from that radiation?

what is the monitor you were using there??? does it measure ionising radiation???

@TheDelorious Yes it does, it is a standard MKS Terra dosimeter. It measures gamma radiation in this case.
