Good afternoon;

I am reading an article on the Namibian Uranium Miners, 
and have a question regarding the abbreviation used for 
the bioassay results.

The report lists results of "9.57 +/- 7.9 mBq/l."

Is the "m" for "milli" or "mega."

I always thought "m" was reserved for "milli", and "M" 
for "mega," but have seen it used both ways.


Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,
