About Becquerels per kilogram
The becquerel per kilogram (Bq/kg) is the SI derived unit of specific activity. It is the primary unit in food safety regulations worldwide: the EU, Japan, and Codex Alimentarius set ¹³⁷Cs limits in Bq/kg for foodstuffs; soil ¹³⁷Cs contamination from Chernobyl and Fukushima fallout is mapped in Bq/kg. 1 Bq/kg = 1 s⁻¹ kg⁻¹ = 1 mBq/g.
About Kilobecquerels per kilogram
The kilobecquerel per kilogram (kBq/kg) equals 10³ Bq/kg = 1 Bq/g. Standard unit for moderately contaminated environmental samples: post-Fukushima Japanese food monitoring reports kBq/kg for agricultural products; WHO and IAEA guidelines for radioactively contaminated soil use kBq/kg thresholds for agricultural intervention. 1 kBq/kg = 10³ Bq/kg = 1 Bq/g.
