Hi Bob, PSEG allows for nasal swabs by inference: A WBC (and entry into the Bioassay Procedure) is required when >= 100 ccpm is found in the mouth/nasal area, or if nasal smears for each nostril indicate >= 100 ccpm when counted together.
We define Nasal Contamination as personnel contamination in or around the nasal tract identified by direct frisk or via nasal swabs.
