This study was done 29 years ago.. so I really don't remember all 
of the details!  From what I do recollect, there were individuals who 
worked in various stations within the system, and that it was 
possible to measure an exposure. The exposure was measurable, 
but not at levels to cause concern. I hope that was not the 
implication others thought when I used the term "measurable". I 
only mentioned that because of Charles's statement "just dumping 
it in the sewer where it will decay, anyway, without causing more 
unnecessary exposure to anyone ?" 

Wish I could remember more, but the research and thesis was 
published in June 1970, and that was quite some time ago...
