About Disintegrations per minute per millilitre

The disintegration per minute per millilitre (dpm/mL) equals exactly 10⁶/60 Bq/m³ ≈ 16 667 Bq/m³. Standard output unit of liquid scintillation counters (LSC) in biochemistry for ³H and ¹⁴C radiotracer assays; radioactivity in cell culture media, pharmacokinetic samples, and environmental water is routinely expressed in dpm/mL. 1 dpm/mL = 10⁶/60 Bq/m³.

About Kilobecquerels per cubic metre

The kilobecquerel per cubic metre (kBq/m³) equals 10³ Bq/m³ = 1 Bq/L. High indoor radon in poorly ventilated uranium mines and homes above uranium ore bodies routinely exceeds 1-10 kBq/m³; EU mine remediation targets aim to reduce air radon below 1 kBq/m³. 1 kBq/m³ = 10³ Bq/m³ = 1 Bq/L.
