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.
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.
