Convert Picograys to Nanograys
Convert Picograys (pGy) to Nanograys (nGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nGy = pGy × 0.001
About Picograys
The picogray (pGy) equals 10⁻¹² Gy. Microdosimetry simulations of α-particle traversals through single cells report mean specific energies in the pGy range; computed dose kernels for ²¹⁰At and !21³Bi targeted alpha therapy on individual cell clusters are expressed in pGy. 1 pGy = 10⁻¹² Gy = 10⁻³ nGy.
About Nanograys
The nanogray (nGy) equals 10⁻⁹ Gy. Background cosmic-ray dose rate at sea level is ~0.03-0.05 nGy/s; environmental low-dose-rate studies of DNA damage in cultured cells use nGy doses delivered over days; regulatory derived investigation levels for some radionuclides in food correspond to organ doses in nGy. 1 nGy = 10⁻⁹ Gy = 10⁻³ µGy.
