About These Units
Gigabecquerel (GBq)
A gigabecquerel (GBq) equals 10⁹ becquerels or 27 millicuries. Used for cancer therapy doses (I-131: 3-7 GBq), industrial radiography sources (0.5-5 TBq), and brachytherapy seeds. Higher activity requires special handling.
Nanocurie (nCi)
A nanocurie (nCi) equals 10⁻⁹ curie or 37 Bq. Used in environmental monitoring, food analysis, and low-level waste characterization. Human body potassium-40: ~100 nCi. Drinking water standards often in pCi/L or nCi/L.
