Convert Disintegrations per minute per gram to Millibecquerels per kilogram
Convert Disintegrations per minute per gram (dpm/g) to Millibecquerels per kilogram (mBq/kg) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mBq/kg = dpm/g × 16666.66667
About Disintegrations per minute per gram
The disintegration per minute per gram (dpm/g) equals exactly 1000/60 Bq/kg ≈ 16.67 Bq/kg. Widely used in liquid scintillation counting (LSC) of ³H and ¹⁴C-labelled compounds and in nuclear forensics for soil and sediment analysis; geochemists report natural radionuclide concentrations in volcanic rocks and marine sediments in dpm/g. 1 dpm/g = 1000/60 Bq/kg.
About Millibecquerels per kilogram
The millibecquerel per kilogram (mBq/kg) equals 10⁻³ Bq/kg. Used for very low-level radioactivity in food and environmental samples; trace ¹³⁷Cs in ocean water and ²²⁶Ra in mineral waters are reported in mBq/kg; occupational bioassay detection limits for actinides in urine and feces are expressed in mBq/kg. 1 mBq/kg = 10⁻³ Bq/kg.
