The conversion is hard, but here's some information from https://www.nirs.org/radiation/tritium/ https://www.nirs.org/radiation/tritium/
"The NRC allows a licensee to release an amount of tritium that could result in a radiation dose to a member of the public of up to 100 millirem (one millisievert) per year — in planned air and water effluents (Title 10, Code of Fedl. Regs., Part20.1301). The NRC translates one million picocuries of tritium per liter as the equivalent of 50 millirem/year (10 CFR Part 20, Introductory Notes to Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2). Please note: Table 2 lists concentrations in “microcuries per millileter.” For example, 1E-3 µCi/ml equals one million picocuries per liter."
That's roughly two mammograms per year. Not inconsequential, but not earthshattering either. You're probably absorbing more than that from the Potassium in your body (according to https://xkcd.com/radiation/ https://xkcd.com/radiation/).
