About Coulombs per cubic yard
The coulomb per cubic yard (C/yd³) equals exactly 1/(0.9144)³ C/m³ ≈1.30795 C/m³, used in North American electrokinetic remediation projects. Electrokinetic treatment of heavy-metal contaminated soil delivers 1-10 C/yd³ of charge per treatment cycle; electro-osmosis drainage studies in US geotechnical engineering use C/yd³ as the charge dosage unit. 1 C/yd³ ≈1.308 C/m³.
About Gigacoulombs per cubic metre
The gigacoulomb per cubic metre (GC/m³) equals 10⁹ C/m³, the natural scale for free-electron charge density in metals. Copper has ~8.5×10²⁸ free electrons/m³, giving total free-charge density ≈13.6 GC/m³; gold is ≈9.4 GC/m³; this scale is also used in extreme fusion plasma models at densities above 10²⁸ /m³. 1 GC/m³ = 10⁹ C/m³ = 10³ MC/m³.
