Abstract
LINDNER et al.1 described the detection of low levels of radioactivity in silver bullion bars. Because this silver may be used in the manufacture of photographic emulsions the effects of the radioactivity are obviously of concern to photographic film manufacturers. We consider here the storage of photographic materials containing silver of the radioactivity level (10−4 µCi/g silver) given by Lindner et al.
