Historical Standard: ASTM C1507-07 Standard Test Method for Radiochemical Determination of Strontium-90 in Soil
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C1507
1. Scope
1.1 This test method is applicable to the determination of strontium-90 in soil at levels of detection dependent on count time, sample size, detector efficiency, background, and recovery.
1.2 This test method is designed for the analysis of ten grams of soil, previously collected and treated as described in Practices C 998 and C 999. This test method may not be able to completely dissolve all soil matrices. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
