A sievert is a unit of measurement that quantifies the health risk from exposure to ionizing radiation, specifically the likelihood that radiation will cause cancer or genetic damage. It's an important tool used by scientists and health professionals to assess radiation safety and protect people from harmful exposure.

Das Sievert (Einheitenzeichen: „Sv“) ist die SI-Einheit der Äquivalentdosis. Sie dient im Strahlenschutz zur Quantifizierung von stochastischen Risiken (Krebs und vererbbare Defekte) von Strahlenexpositionen infolge ionisierender Strahlung. Sie ist nach dem schwedischen Mediziner und Physiker Rolf Sievert benannt. Da eine Dosis von 1 Sv ein sehr großer Wert ist, werden die üblicherweise vorkommenden Werte mithilfe eines Vorsatzes für Maßeinheiten (SI-Präfix) in Millisievert (mSv) oder Mikrosievert (μSv) angegeben.
