About Megacuries per kilogram

The megacurie per kilogram (MCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10¹⁶ Bq/kg. Encountered for extremely high-specific-activity nuclides: carrier-free ²²³Ra (α-emitter, t½ = 11.43 d) reaches ~50 MCi/kg; polonium-210 freshly separated from bismuth targets in research reactors has a specific activity near 4.5 MCi/g = 4.5 × 10³ MCi/kg. 1 MCi/kg = 3.7 × 10¹⁶ Bq/kg.

About Microbecquerels per kilogram

The microbecquerel per kilogram (µBq/kg) equals 10⁻⁶ Bq/kg. Very low-level anthropogenic contamination in drinking water (tritium, ⁹⁰Sr) and dietary exposures from global nuclear weapons test fallout in the 1950s-1960s are characterised at µBq/kg in body burden assessments. 1 µBq/kg = 10⁻⁶ Bq/kg = 10⁻³ mBq/kg.
