Units are important.

There is a principle in math and science that the denominator is "unitized"
as you make reference.  The 100 cm^2 is not a unit area, cm^2 is.....


Pardon my ignorance, but didn't the 100cm^2 area eventuate due to the fact that
contamination probes typically had an acvtive area of about 100cm^2 when
monitoring for contamination directly?
