FAQ
What's the difference between Gy and Sv?
Gray (Gy) measures absorbed dose, while sievert (Sv) measures equivalent dose which accounts for biological effectiveness.
What's a typical background radiation dose?
Average annual background radiation exposure is about 2.4 mSv per year.
What units are supported?
