LPCA

français vers anglais Technique / Génie Génie et sciences nucléaires unit of beta radiation
I have LPCA and LDCA, and Bq/m3. I'm pretty sure LDCA is normally DAC (derived air concentration) in English, but what on earth is LPCA? If you don't know the English, it would be helpful even to know what it stands for in French.

According to this website - whether this is the official English equivalent, I'm not sure, but at least it gives you the French meaning.
