GBq/kg = µBq/kg × 1.000000000e-15
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 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.
