About Becquerels
The becquerel (Bq) is the SI coherent unit of radioactivity, defined as exactly one nuclear disintegration per second. Named after Henri Becquerel (discoverer of radioactivity, 1896), it replaced the curie in SI. Household smoke detector ²⁴¹Am sources contain ~30 kBq; a banana contains ~15 Bq of ⁴⁰K. 1 Bq = 1 s⁻¹.
About Exabecquerels
The exabecquerel (EBq) equals 10¹⁸ Bq. The global inventory of ⁴⁰K in the Earth's oceans is ~17 EBq; atmospheric nuclear weapons testing (1945-1963) deposited ~2 EBq of ¹⁴C globally; total natural radioactivity in the human body worldwide sums to ~10 EBq. 1 EBq = 10¹⁸ Bq = 10³ PBq.
