Perspiration vs. Personnel Alpha Contamination Surveys

["Goff, Tom" <gofft@wipp.carlsbad.nm.us>]

Does anyone have any experience with audit questions involving Perspiration
vs. Personnel Alpha Contamination Surveys?

The theme of the question is what is the impact of the shielding of alpha by
the moisture from sweat.  

I would be interested in any documentation, studies or procedures regarding
this issue.  Results of audits where this question was raised would also be
of help.

Thanks
