Radiation Dose Equivalents
1.000 Sv 1 Gy (gamma) = 1 Sv = 100 Rem = 100 Rad
💡
Safety Tip
Annual natural background radiation ≈ 2-3 mSv. Lethal dose LD50 ≈ 4-5 Gy.
Conversion Methodology
📐
Formula
1 Gy = 1 J/kg | 1 Sv = 1 J/kg (×WR) | 1 Rem = 0.01 Sv
📢
Important Disclaimer
Sv is dose equivalent; Gy is absorbed dose (tissue type matters for Sv).
