About Microbecquerels
The microbecquerel (µBq) equals 10⁻⁶ Bq. Nuclear power plant effluent monitoring reports ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr in air and water at µBq/m³; dietary ²¹⁰Po intake from seafood consumption is assessed at µBq per daily serving in food safety surveys. 1 µBq = 10⁻⁶ Bq = 10⁻³ mBq.
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.
