From the above link, 500 seems to be the max limit and 200 being more acceptable. It’s rather confusing but that’s the best I could figure.
So, is the 600K for the medium gray on your map 600,000 or 600 with the K not meaning anything? Either it’s over the limit or it’s way the heck hit the fan over the limit.
per square meter and per kg seem to be two different scales. I don’t know how one translates to another.
