Footnotes to Schedule A
1 Values are given only for those
					 materials normally used as gases.
2 [MICRO]Ci/gm for solids.
NOTE 1. Many radioisotopes disintegrate into isotopes
					 which are also radioactive. In expressing the concentrations in Schedule A, the
					 activity stated is that of the parent isotope and takes into account the
					 daughters.
NOTE 2. For purposes of LAC 33:XV.304, where there is
					 involved a combination of isotopes, the limit for the combination should be
					 derived as follows: Determine for each isotope in the product the ratio between
					 the radioactivity concentration present in the product and the exempt
					 radioactivity concentration established in Schedule A for the . The sum of such
					 ratios may not exceed "l" (i.e., unity).

NOTE 3. To convert µCi/ml to SI units of
					 megabecquerels per liter, multiply the above values by 37.
Example:
Zirconium (40) Zr-97 (2 x 10-4
					 [MICRO] Ci/ml multiplied by 37 is equivalent to 74 x
					 10-4 MBq/1)
NOTE 4. Values in Column I are given only for those
					 materials normally used as gases.
In Column II, concentrations are expressed in [MICRO]
					 Ci/ml for liquids and [MICRO] Ci/gm for solids.

Note 1: For purposes of subdivision where a combination of
					 radionuclides is involved, the limit for the combination shall be derived as
					 follows: For each radionuclide, determine the amount possessed, and 1,000 times
					 the amount given in Schedule B for that radionuclide. The sum of the ratios of
					 these two quantities, for all the combinations involved, may not exceed
					 1.
