About These Units

Rem (rem)

The rem (Roentgen Equivalent Man) is the traditional unit of equivalent dose. One sievert = 100 rem exactly. Still used in US nuclear industry and regulations. Annual occupational limit: 5 rem/year. Natural background: 0.3 rem/year. Acute 450 rem ≈ LD50.

Microroentgen (μR)

A microroentgen (μR) equals 0.001 mR. Used in environmental radiation monitoring, radon measurements, and low-level contamination surveys. Natural background: 10-20 μR/h typical. Sensitive ion chambers measure in μR/h.
