List of FDA's allowable limits

Holy smokes, it appears that I am even more paranoid than I imagined :).

Here I was concerned about a couple of bq/kg here and there...check out the FDA's limits on this stuff. Jeez!

Hell, there's even a limit of 2bq/kg for the plutonium and americium isotopes! Cesium (combined) at 1200 bq/kg! Sweet baby Jesus!

OK, so their limits seem high to me, but they had to have some level of science behind them. So even if we were to say that they are 10 ten times higher than they shoud be, that would allow 120 bq/kg of cesium activity.
