Note 1: Many radioisotopes transform into isotopes which are also radioactive. In expressing the concentrations in 105 CMR 120.195: Appendix A, the activity stated is that of the parent isotope and takes into account the daughters.

Note 2: For purposes of 105 CMR 120.104(A) 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 120.195: Appendix A for the specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed "1".

Note 3: To convert µCi/ml to SI units of mega becquerels 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/l)
