10 milli Severt
The unit gray measures the absorbed dose of radiation (D), absorbed by any material. The unit sievert measures the equivalent dose of radiation (H), having the same damaging effect as an equal dose of gamma rays.
Both the gray, with symbol Gy and the sievert, with symbol Sv are SI derived units, defined as a unit of energy (joule) per unit of mass (kilogram):
1 Gy = 1 Sv = 1 J / kg
An older unit for the equivalent dose, is the rem, still often used in the United States. One sievert is equal to 100 rem:
1 rem = 0.01 Sv = 10 mSv
So 10 mSv = 1 rem or 1000 mrem ⬅
