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 Sec. 30.14 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 concentration present in the product and the
  exempt 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).
