What Is This Tool?
This tool converts radiation activity values from disintegrations per second, the SI unit of radioactive decay, to picocurie (pCi), a unit often used in environmental and health risk assessments for low-level radioactivity.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation activity value in disintegrations per second (Bq)
- Select picocurie [pCi] as the target unit
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in pCi
- Use the converted output for environmental or medical radioactivity assessments
Key Features
- Converts activity units from disintegrations/second to picocurie with a fixed conversion rate
- Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output fields
- Supports applications in environmental monitoring, nuclear medicine, and lab measurements
- Displays results suitable for reporting low-level radioactive contamination and radon exposure
Examples
- 5 disintegrations/second equals 135.14 picocurie [pCi]
- 0.1 disintegrations/second equals 2.70 picocurie [pCi]
Common Use Cases
- Reporting indoor radon concentration in air as pCi/L for health assessments
- Measuring low-level radioactivity in drinking water and environmental samples
- Quantifying administered activities in nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceuticals
- Calibrating radiation detectors and characterizing radioactive waste
Tips & Best Practices
- Double-check sample conditions and instrumentation calibration before conversion
- Use this tool for approximate conversions aligning with environmental and health standards
- Refer to correct units to ensure communication clarity when reporting results
Limitations
- The conversion is approximate since picocurie is derived from the non-SI unit curie
- Measurement precision may vary, especially at very low activity levels
- Calibration differences across instruments can affect the accuracy of converted values
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does disintegrations per second measure?
- It measures the activity of a radioactive sample by counting the number of nuclear decays occurring each second and is equivalent to one becquerel.
- Why convert disintegrations per second to picocurie?
- Because picocurie is commonly used in environmental health assessments and for reporting low-level radioactive contamination.
- Is the conversion exact between these units?
- No, the conversion is approximate due to picocurie being based on the curie, a non-SI unit.
Key Terminology
- Disintegrations/second
- A measure of radioactive activity equal to the number of nuclear decays occurring each second; identical to one becquerel (Bq).
- Picocurie [pCi]
- A unit of radioactive activity equal to 10⁻¹² curies, commonly used for expressing low-level radioactivity like indoor radon and environmental samples.
