What are 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 many picocuries is safe?
The EPA states that any radon exposure carries some risk; no level of radon exposure is always safe. However, the EPA recommends homes be fixed if an occupant’s long-term exposure will average 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.
How are picocuries per liter converted to rads?
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) multiply the amount by 0.037 to get becquerels per liter (Bq/L) This one works to convert properly a type of gray absorbed dose into another expression of gray. Good for checking your work or understanding the conversion of things like cGy, mGy. It will also convert grey measurements into rads.

What’s the difference between a picocurie and a Curie?
The difference between the curie and the picocurie is so vast that other metric units are used between them. These are as follows: ¨ Millicurie (mCi) = 1/1,000 (one thousandth) of a curie ¨ Microcurie (mCi) = 1/1,000,000 (one millionth) of a curie
