Table 2: Level of contaminations in Jy/sr for the ACT experiment. The first two lines are for the dust emission fluctuations in the 40% cleanest region of the sky when 30% and 100% of the fluctuations remain unremoved. The second two lines are for fluctuations of the 50% unresolved IR galaxies, when they are Poisson distributed and where we also take the correlations into account. In this case, $\sigma _{\rm tot}^{\rm CIB}=\sqrt {5 \times \sigma _{\rm Poisson}^2}$. The last line represents the fluctuations due to unresolved radio sources when 50% of the background is resolved.
