1. For those who don't know the meaning of a mBq/M3,
See this Wikipedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becquerel

The measurements are in milli-becquerels per cubic meter. One Bq is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second. The measurement can be converted to the old Curie measurement with this forumula: 1 Ci = 3.7×10^10 Bq. It's a very useful measurement of extremely small amounts of radiation.

Information is good.
