Convert Millicuries per kilogram to Picocuries per kilogram
Convert Millicuries per kilogram (mCi/kg) to Picocuries per kilogram (pCi/kg) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pCi/kg = mCi/kg × 1000000000
About Millicuries per kilogram
The millicurie per kilogram (mCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10⁷ Bq/kg = 37 MBq/kg. Radiopharmaceutical preparations are sometimes characterised in mCi/kg when assessing organ uptake per body mass; ⁹⁹mTc-labelled compounds have specific activities in the mCi/µmol range that translate to high mCi/kg values. 1 mCi/kg = 3.7 × 10⁷ Bq/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.
