This has already put them at risk of receiving about 40 mSv to 80 mSv of radiation, which is roughly equivalent to 120 to 240 ...

Although it has been suspected that risk of malignancy rises at even low radiation doses, often defined as ≤100 mSv, the evidence has been limited. To explore this risk with a large body of data ...

Since one sievert is a large quantity, radiation doses normally encountered are expressed in millisievert (mSv) or microsievert (µSv) which are one-thousandth or one millionth of a sievert. For ...

The recommended dose limit in terms of effective dose is 20 mSv per year or 100 mSv in 5 years. This is over and above the radiation dose one gets from natural sources, which varies from place to ...
