"Picocuries per gram" or "pCi/g" means a measure of the radioactivity in one (1) gram of a material. One (1) picocurie is that quantity of radionuclide or radionuclides that decays at the rate of 3.7 × 10-2 disintegrations per second.
What is a picocuries?
A picocurie is one trillionth of a curie. To put the relative size of one trillionth into perspective, consider that if the Earth were reduced to one trillionth of its diameter, the “picoEarth” would be smaller in diameter than a speck of dust.
How much radiation is a Picocurie?
What is a "picocurie" (pCi)? A pCi is a measure of the rate of radioactive decay of radon. One pCi is one trillionth of a Curie, 0.037 disintegrations per second, or 2.22 disintegrations per minute.
