2.
Removable/transferable contamination
Removable/transferable contamination is
contamination that can be readily removed from
surfaces.
o
It may be removed or transferred by casual
contact, wiping, brushing, or washing.
o
Air movement across contamination could
cause the contamination to become airborne.
3.
Airborne contamination
Airborne contamination is contamination suspended
in air.
This creates a particular hazard because of the
possibility of intake by inhalation. Inhalation is the
most common mode of uptake of radioactive material
in the working environment. In addition to the hazard
to the worker, radioactive materials may be carried
into ventilation systems, material may be deposited
on surfaces over a large area, and there is the
potential for releases outside of the facility.
