criterion indicating the degree of reduction of gaseous radioiodine in the gas flowing through the sorbent under specified test conditions
Note 1 to entry: The index is valid only for a specific chemical form of the radioactive gas. In this document, the index has been calculated for radioactive methyl iodide. The index can also be calculated with other gaseous species, such as radioactive iodine, but the results cannot be compared with the ones obtained with radioactive methyl iodide.
