RE: Self-Absorption Effects on Air Filters

["Williamson, Matthew" <Matthew.Williamson@nypa.gov>]

You also may want to check out Safety Series No. 49, Radiological
Surveillance of Airborne Contaminants in the Working Environment, IAEA,
1979.

Loading may have significant effects on self abs.  This will vary from
environment to environment (e.g., outside, clean room, or reactor
cavity).  Be careful of just pipetting some TRU onto a filter and
getting some correction factors.
