Column I
			 of Table 2

			 will result in an average radon concentration in air of more than 0.4 picocurie
			 per liter (14.8 Bq/m3).

			 emitters.
(a) Fixed contamination means
			 contamination that cannot be removed from a surface during normal conditions of
			 transport.
(b) Non-fixed
			 contamination means contamination that can be removed from a surface during
