People exposed to highest doses of ionizing radiation are smokers.
Even more than US radiation workers.
To find out Please watch the complete video.
Notes about measuring radiation:
Sieverts are a measure of 'effective dose' - that means they measure the biological impact of the energy transferred to tissues from radiation.
Smoking Kills(Literally) :big_boss:
(Video discription)
The most contentious claim may be that smokers receive the highest dose of ionizing radiation. This is not a whole body dose, but a dose to the lungs as specified in the video. References are here:

There is a small lake in the ural mountains in southern Russia named lake Karachay. It was used as a dumping site for radioactive waste from the nearby nuclear facility Majak - which produced weapon-grade nuclear material for bombs.

This lake is estimated to be the most polluted place on earth where you'll receive a dose of 600 roentgens or about 6 sieverts, which is 3 times the lethal dose if you stand on the shore for an hour.
