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 Part C 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 specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed "1" ((i)e., unity).

NOTE 3: To convert µCi/ml to SI units of megabecquerels per liter multiply the above values by 37.
