Sievert Scales
- Sievert scale provides a standardized measure of the biological effects of radiation exposure.
- It takes into account factors such as the type of radiation, the dose received, and the sensitivity of different tissues and organs to radiation-induced damage.
- Sievert scale allows for the comparison of the relative risks associated with different levels and types of radiation exposure, helping to inform radiation protection practices and regulatory decisions.
Effects of Radiation
Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. Radiation generally have harmful effects on human health and environment. However it also provide opportunities for scientific research. It is a fundamental aspect of the universe and plays a significant role in both natural processes and human activities.
In this article, we will learn in detail about effects of radiation, effect on human health, environment along with basic introduction of radiation and its types.
