dpm/L = MBq/m³ × 60000
About Megabecquerels per cubic metre
The megabecquerel per cubic metre (MBq/m³) equals 10⁶ Bq/m³ = 1 kBq/L. ⁴¹Ar activity in the air of research reactor buildings during full-power operation commonly reaches MBq/m³; ³H concentrations in PWR primary coolant water are characterised in MBq/m³ (= kBq/L). 1 MBq/m³ = 10⁶ Bq/m³.
About Disintegrations per minute per litre
The disintegration per minute per litre (dpm/L) equals exactly 1000/60 Bq/m³ ≈ 16.67 Bq/m³. Used in environmental water and air monitoring with liquid scintillation counting (LSC); ³H activity in river water near nuclear power plant discharges and in groundwater compliance monitoring is commonly reported in dpm/L. 1 dpm/L = 1000/60 Bq/m³ ≈ 16.67 Bq/m³.
