25 microsievert safe? |
by Marchee W.G.J. on 2012-01-29 |
Dear sir,
I owe a compass with 25 microsievert radium paint. Is it safe to store this at home?
Kind regards,
W.G.J. Marchee

Background radiation conversion |
by KMarkP on 2011-04-13 |
Can someone help me add this up? I found that the average radiation in Tokyo for the last 7 days has been about 0.07 microsieverts per hour. By my calculations, that adds up to 613 microsieverts per year. The dose in millisieverts would then be 0.613 mSv/year. My problem is, how can that be so much lower than the world's average background radiation dose which, according to the WHO is 2.4 mSv/year? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

originator of this measurement? |
by carmen montaner on 2011-03-21 |
I am very much interested in the person who developed this measurement. I imagine he is German or a Spaniard, since there are Sieverts in Cadiz, Spain that I know whose antecedents were from Coln, Germany. Can you elucidate on this? Thank you.

Millisievert vs Millirem |
by Tom on 2011-03-17 |
In the early 80's we use to fly radioactive isotopes(sp) medical pharmaceuticals. We were badged with dosemeters and were allowed 1500 milirems a year, The people in the Fiji islands receive around that amount from the sand and sun, and have the lowest cancer rate in the world, that was told to us in one of our classes. If I look at the comparison above that is 15 mSv, my question is how many mSv is consider unacceptable?
by Robert Young on 2011-03-18
Occupational exposure (aka Rad-workes at nuclear plants, etc) are limited as follow...these are considered "safe" levels even for rad workers, but it is realized they will be exposed to higher levels than the "average" person "on the street":
1) the more limiting of:
A total effective dose equivalent of 5 rems (0.05 Sv)
or
The sum of the deep-dose equivalent to any individual organ or tissue other than the lens of the eye being equal to 50 rems (0.5 Sv).
2) The annual limits to the lens of the eye, to the skin, and to the extremities, which are:
A lens dose equivalent of 15 rems (0.15 Sv)
A shallow-dose equivalent of 50 rems (0.50 Sv) to the skin or to any extremity.
General pop exposure is limited to 2% of the annual dosages above/year

What would be a comparison to having 75miC of RAI-131 to something in our every days life? (would it be like sitting in front of computer or flying on plane?) Trying to understand. I just had this for a part of my cancer treatment. Thank you

Which is smaller? A micro or a milli?
by Dennis on 2011-03-15
A micro is smaller.
microrem to millirem |
by Kathi on 2010-06-04 |
I am trying to figure out how many microrem = a millirem. If you are exposed to 3 microrem how much would it take to have too much exposure?
by Darren on 2011-02-07
If you have 3 microrems of radiation poisoning, that is way too much in your system, escpecially compared to how many millirems are in your system. Hope this info helps
by Darren on 2011-02-07
P.S.
I forgot to give you your answer 3 microrems= .0030000 millirems or 3 thousandths millirems= 3 microrems
by Parnell Diablo on 2011-02-25
Would your hair fall off if you got 3 microrems?
How about your skin? Would it burn very much?
by Gord on 2011-03-15
You would have no detectable effects from anything under 40 Rem.
Your hair wouldn't fall out unless you got >200 Rem.
You wouldn't get burned at all.
by Jason on 2011-03-15
darren you are an idiot. if you dont know what you are talking about, which you obviosly dont, you should keep your mouth closed.
by Dr. Otto Herrmann on 2011-03-16
Using the older units (REM instead of Sieverts), you are allowed 5 REM per year exposure as a safe limit if you are a nuclear worker. It is not that you are tougher than the rest of the public, it is that you are monitored more closely. Allowed public exposures vary in different areas based on local regulations but are set more conservatively only because people are not normally checked as part of their routine activity. Thus you can see that millirem (o.oo1 rem) and microrem (0.000001 rem) are ridiculously low compared to normally allowed exposures.
by JOHN1023 on 2011-03-17
In the 70's the military was using 200 millirems of expsure before people working outrside in protective suits had to be taken back into the shelter. Most of them would become sick and recover but some depending on their circumstances would die. As you went above 200 millirem the number of sick and dieing would go up.....It's not a good way to go you don't need to worry about your hair falling out by the time you get that much, your hair is the least of your worries.
by john1023 on 2011-03-17
Beta radiation exposure gives a sunburn-like burn but it is the easiest to protect against has very little penetrating power...I wont go as far as saying heavy clothing would stop it but decon suits do. If you can wash it off with clean water asap you probably would not get a burn. The Japanese fishermen that got burned by fallout during the H bomb test at Bikini might have tried to alleviate some of their burns with sea water but fallout from the bomb had contaminated the water around them it would had been like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. They would have washed beta particles off in exchange for gamma radiating fallout which they were probably already getting.....so no matter how you cut it, it is survivable but it's not easy and you have to keep your wits about you.

A lot of bogus info above. If you want to understand this stuff use a better source. For instance, http://www.chemcases.com/nuclear/nc-14.html

Yes, darren is somewhat confused with his numbers.
A microrem is one-millionth of a rem.
A millirem is one thousandth of a rem.
Therefore, 1000 microrem = 1 millirem.
One thousand millirem = 1 rem.

Yes there is alot of misinformation here.
