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.
About Kilobecquerels
The kilobecquerel (kBq) equals 10³ Bq. Food safety authorities report ¹³⁷Cs contamination in kBq/kg (Codex Alimentarius and EC 733/2008 limits); ¹²⁵I tracers in radioimmunoassay kits are typically 3.7-18.5 kBq per well. 1 kBq = 10³ Bq = 1000 Bq.
