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 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.
