Reply to comment by Synaps4 in Does the initial pressure wave of a nuclear explosion already carry radioactive contaminants? by Freak_at_war
This is correct. Waves (including pressure waves) don't transport particulates. When I sing, the air in my lungs does not get transported into the ears of those who hear me. By the same token, if my house's windows get blown out by the shockwave of a nuclear blast there won't (yet) be any radioactivity from the blast deposited in my house.
