Since Tony just mentioned cesium, I am hoping that he or perhaps another expert known to someone on this list can help with an important question. I am trying to find out whether the following figures representing a soil sample taken from a public park give cause for alarm:
Ce-137 (Cesium 137): 990 plus or minus 60 pCi/Kg (picocuries per kilogram?) Other stats from same time and same element: 35 plus or minus 8 @ University location - where is not specified 71 " " 35 SEFOR perimeter 530 " " 60 SEFOR field and creek bed Any help will be greatly appreciated.
