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.
About Curies per kilogram
The curie per kilogram (Ci/kg) equals 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq/kg = 37 GBq/kg. High specific activity sealed sources: ¹¹¹In and ¹³³Xe produced in accelerators are characterised in Ci/kg; ⁴²K formed by neutron activation in high-potassium food samples in research irradiators reaches Ci/kg values. 1 Ci/kg = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq/kg.
