So in chem lab we were doing experiments in radiation and the TA seems to have no idea how to do stuff, he told us to hold the samples at certain distances from a Geiger counter for 2 minutes at a time. I was tasked with holding an Sr90 sample for roughly 25 minutes, it was a very small sample encased in plastic that only emitted beta radiation. Is this a thing to worry about or am I probably ok?
He also made my lab partner hold Co60 a gamma radiation source, but for only about 8 minutes.
