/ Values are given in Column I
					 only for those materials normally used as gases.
2
/ µCi/g for solids.
Note 1
: Many radionuclides
					 transform into other radionuclides. In expressing the concentrations in
					 Appendix A, the activity stated is that of the parent radionuclide and takes
					 into account the radioactive decay products.
Note 2
: Where there is involved a
					 combination of radionuclides, the limit for the combination should be derived
					 as follows: Determine for each radionuclide in the product the ratio between
					 the radioactivity concentration present in the product and the exempt
					 radioactivity concentration established in Appendix A for the specific
					 radionuclide when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed
					 "1".

Note 3
: To convert µCi/ml
					 to SI units of megabecquerels per liter multiply the above values by 37.
Example: Zirconium (40) Zr-97
					 (2x10-4
										µCi/ml multiplied by 37 is equivalent
					 to 74 x 10-4 MBq/1)
