Indoor Environmental Quality
A picocurie is equal to 1 x 10~12 curies. A curie (Ci) is an amount of radioactive
material that produces 10~10 nuclear disintegrations per second. A picocurie

Picocurie. (Pci). -. One. trillionth. (to-'2). of the amount of radioactivity represented
by a curie (Ci). A curie is the amount of radioactivity that yields 3.7 x 1010

Drinking Water Regulation and Health
The quantity of a nuclide actually present would be divided by its picocurie
allowance resulting in a fraction of what is allowed. If 14 pCi of nuclide Q equals
the MCL of, say, 4mrem, and 14pCi is present, the limit of 5mrem is reached.
