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 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.
