a unit of radiation absorption in the International System of Units. It is used to measure the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body.

Special unit name for the organ dose and the effective dose; symbol: Sv; named after Rolf Sievert (1896 to 1966), a Swedish scientist who rendered outstanding services to the establishment and further [..]

The international system (SI) unit for dose equivalent equal to 1 Joule/kilogram. 1 sievert = 100 rem. Named for physicist Rolf Sievert.

The modern unit of radiation does, incorporating quality factors for the biological effectiveness of different types of ionizing radiation (implying that alpha particles are 20 times more dangerous th [..]

Sievert is the SI unit of absorbed dose equivalent of radiation in biological tissue. 1 sievert (Sv) = 1 J/kg Sievert measurements depend on the type of radiation, the type of tissue exposed and the amount of radiation absorbed by the tissue.

The international system (SI) unit for dose equivalent equal to 1 Joule/kilogram. The sievert has replaced the rem. One sievert is equivalent to 100 rem.

The sievert is a unit used to derive a quantity called equivalent dose. This relates the absorbed dose in human tissue to the effective biological damage of the radiation. Not all radiation has the same biological effect, even for the same amount of absorbed dose. Equivalent dose is often expressed in terms of millionths of a sievert, or micro-siev [..]

The sievert is the SI unit of dose equivalent. Since 1 Sv is a massive dose of radiation, units of microsieverts are often used instead.

The unit for the dose equivalent of ionising radiation received by a person. The abbreviation is Sv. A dose of 1 Sv is very high. The maximum annual permitted dose level (PDL) for the average person ( [..]

The unit of measurement for the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body. The Sievert corresponds to the gray (ionizing energy absorbed per unit of mass, expressed in J.kg-1 [..]
