Converting from Becquerel (Bq) to Gigabecquerel (GBq) | Radioactivity

What is Becquerel (Bq)

1 Becquerel (Bq)=1 decay event per second

Becquerel is the SI unit used to measure radioactivity. It represents the number of decay events that occur in one second.

What is Gigabecquerel (GBq)

1 Gigabecquerel (GBq)=1 billion decay events per second

Gigabecquerel is a derived metric unit used to represent a large amount of radioactivity, equivalent to one billion decay events per second.

Conversion Formulas

1 Bq=0.000000001 GBq
