Convert Picocuries per kilogram (pCi/kg) to Petabecquerels per kilogram (PBq/kg) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
PBq/kg = pCi/kg × 3.700000000e-17
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 Petabecquerels per kilogram
The petabecquerel per kilogram (PBq/kg) equals 10¹⁵ Bq/kg. Carrier-free short-lived nuclides reach PBq/kg: freshly produced ⁹⁹mTc eluate at high specific activity approaches 10⁴-10⁵ GBq/mg = PBq/kg; freshly separated ³H gas from lithium targets in accelerators achieves PBq/kg specific activity values. 1 PBq/kg = 10¹⁵ Bq/kg = 10³ TBq/kg.
