Time integrated concentration: (Bq–s/m3) or (Bq·s/m3)?

1° When used as a dispersion model of radioactive isotopes, Hysplit is issuing the exposure to the cloud in (Bq–s/m3).

2° However, I did not find any explanation in the forum on this unit, and I do not know how to use such a unit with a dose factor expressed in Sv/Bq; or in (Sv·m3/Bq·s); or in [(mSv/h)/(Bq/m3)]. If someone could help me that would be fine.

3° My question is whether such a unit in Bq–s/m3 expresses what is called by the experts "time integrated concentration"?

4° If so, isnt-it better to change the ‘-‘ by a ‘·’, which gives (Bq·s/m3) and seems more suitable for being used with the dose factors?

I am sending you in advance many thanks for the enlightment you will provide on these questions.

Best regards

FPP

They are the same.
