About Petabecquerels
The petabecquerel (PBq) equals 10¹⁵ Bq. The Chernobyl accident (1986) released ~5200 PBq of noble gases and ~1760 PBq of ¹³¹I; Fukushima Daiichi (2011) released 400-900 PBq ¹³¹I-equivalent; global ⁸⁵Kr inventory from nuclear operations is ~1300 PBq. 1 PBq = 10¹⁵ Bq = 10³ TBq.
About Picobecquerels
The picobecquerel (pBq) equals 10⁻¹² Bq. Environmental monitoring of drinking water reports naturally occurring ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra at pBq/L; ultra-low background Geiger counters in underground laboratories detect pBq-level contamination on detector surfaces. 1 pBq = 10⁻¹² Bq = 10⁻³ nBq.
