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 Picocuries per kilogram
The picocurie per kilogram (pCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10⁻² Bq/kg. Standard US unit for soil and sediment radioactivity screening: EPA soil screening levels for ²²⁶Ra and ²³‸U are cited in pCi/g (= nCi/kg); fish tissue ¹³⁷Cs limits in some US regulations use pCi/kg. 1 pCi/kg = 3.7 × 10⁻² Bq/kg.
