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 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.
