atomisäteiluvut
Atomisäteiluvut, also known as atomic radiation units, are units used to measure the amount of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is a form of energy that can remove electrons from atoms and molecules, potentially causing damage to living tissues. Understanding and measuring this radiation is crucial for safety in various fields, including medicine, nuclear power, and environmental monitoring.
Several units are employed to quantify different aspects of atomic radiation. Exposure is often measured in
To address this, absorbed dose is used, measured in gray (Gy) or rad (rad). Gray represents one
The becquerel (Bq) and curie (Ci) are units used to measure radioactivity, which is the rate at
