sievert <Sv>

sívert {hv} <Sv>ein.kjarnvistfr.

• The higher radiation weighting factor for a type of radiation, the more damaging it is, and this is incorporated into the calculation to convert from gray to sievert units.
• The radioactive dosage from consuming one banana is generally agreed to be 10−7 sievert, or 0.1 microsievert, which is 1% of the average American's daily radioactive intake.
• The svedberg (S) is distinct from the SI unit sievert or the non-SI unit sverdrup, which also use the symbol Sv.
• The effects of ionizing radiation are often measured in units of gray for mechanical or sievert for damage to tissue.
• The sievert (symbol: Sv) is a unit in the International System of Units (SI) intended to represent the stochastic health risk of ionizing radiation, which is defined as the probability of causing radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage.

• The sverdrup is distinct from the SI sievert unit or the non-SI svedberg unit. All three use the same symbol. They are not related.
• For the type of radiation given by a cobalt bomb, the dosage measured in sievert (Sv) and gray (Gy) can be treated as equivalent.
• The sievert (Sv), the SI unit representing the stochastic health risk of ionizing radiation, is named for him. He has been called the "Father of Radiation Protection".
• However, for gamma ray and X-ray dose measurements a unit such as the sievert is normally used.
• The radiation risk proposed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) predicts that an effective dose of one sievert carries a 5.5% chance of developing cancer.

• However, for gamma ray and X-ray dose measurements a unit such as the gray or sievert is normally used.
• These are equivalent dose, and effective dose for which the SI unit sievert or the non-SI rem are used.
