About Gigabecquerels per kilogram
The gigabecquerel per kilogram (GBq/kg) equals 10⁹ Bq/kg. Characterises specific activity of cyclotron-produced short-lived nuclides: ¹⁸F batches from a medical cyclotron have specific activities of 10⁴-10⁵ GBq/µmol; ⁹⁹mTc eluates from a Mo/Tc generator are in the GBq/kg concentration range for clinical use. 1 GBq/kg = 10⁹ Bq/kg.
About Picobecquerels per kilogram
The picobecquerel per kilogram (pBq/kg) equals 10⁻¹² Bq/kg. Environmental monitoring of very pure water samples and ultra-low-background detector materials reports natural radioactivity (²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra) at pBq/kg; material purity screening for low-background physics experiments (neutrinoless double-beta decay searches) uses pBq/kg sensitivity thresholds. 1 pBq/kg = 10⁻¹² Bq/kg.
