ซีเวิร์ต

Also known as Sv

The sievert (symbol: Sv) is a derived 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 sievert is important in dosimetry and radiation protection. It is named after Rolf Maximilian Sievert, a Swedish medical physicist renowned for work on radiation dose measurement and research into the biological effects of radiation.

AI overview

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.
