Convert Picocuries per kilogram to Nanocuries per kilogram
Convert Picocuries per kilogram (pCi/kg) to Nanocuries per kilogram (nCi/kg) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nCi/kg = pCi/kg × 0.001
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.
About Nanocuries per kilogram
The nanocurie per kilogram (nCi/kg) equals 37 Bq/kg. US EPA soil screening levels for ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra are given in pCi/g which equals nCi/kg; NRC derived concentration guides (DCGs) for radionuclides in soil for unrestricted-use release are expressed in nCi/kg in 10 CFR Part 20. 1 nCi/kg = 37 Bq/kg = 3.7 × 10⁻⁸ Ci/kg.
