About These Units
Sievert (Sv)
The sievert (Sv) is the SI unit of equivalent dose, measuring biological effect of radiation exposure. Accounts for radiation type via quality factors. 1 Sv = significant health risk, 4-5 Sv = 50% fatality (LD50). Acute exposure above 0.5 Sv causes radiation sickness.
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.
