^*: In most cases, the air concentrations of HTO and C-14 are available and can be used to ensure the protection of biota. In rare cases where soil concentrations are required, they can be calculated using the specific activity model.

^‡: Unit is Bq/g dissolved inorganic carbon in water for C-14.

^†: Units are Bq/L of sediment water for HTO; and Bq/g total organic carbon in sediment for C-14.
