Convert Disintegrations per minute per cubic metre to Millibecquerels per cubic metre
Convert Disintegrations per minute per cubic metre (dpm/m³) to Millibecquerels per cubic metre (mBq/m³) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mBq/m³ = dpm/m³ × 16.66666667
About Disintegrations per minute per cubic metre
The disintegration per minute per cubic metre (dpm/m³) equals exactly 1/60 Bq/m³ ≈ 16.7 mBq/m³. Used in legacy US nuclear industry and older radiochemistry literature for low-level airborne radioactivity; some historical derived air concentration (DAC) limit publications cite values in dpm/m³. 1 dpm/m³ = 1/60 Bq/m³ ≈ 16.7 mBq/m³.
About Millibecquerels per cubic metre
The millibecquerel per cubic metre (mBq/m³) equals 10⁻³ Bq/m³. European atmospheric ³H, ⁸⁵Kr, and ¹⁴C concentrations near nuclear facilities are reported in mBq/m³; post-Fukushima ¹³⁴Cs and ¹³⁷Cs transport across the Pacific was measured at mBq/m³ at remote monitoring stations. 1 mBq/m³ = 10⁻³ Bq/m³ = 1 µBq/L.
