Radiation Dose Chart - Infographics Pics

Radiation Dose Chart This is a chart of the ionizing radiation dose a person can obsorb fron various sources. The unit for obsorbed dose is "sievert" (Sv), and measures the effect a dose of radiation vill have on the cells of the body. One sievert (all at once) vill make you sick, and too many more vill kill you, but we safely absorb snall anounts of of natural rodiation dai ly. Note: The same number of sieverts absorbed in a shorter time will general ly couse more damage, but your cumulative long-term dose plays a big role in things like cancer risk. - Sleeping next to someone (8.85 usv) - Chest x-ray (28 uSv) pr EPA year ly release target for a nuclear pover plant (30 uSv) Living within 50 mi les of a nuclear power plant for a year (8.89 usv) All the doses in the blue ão chart conbined (-60 Sv) E Eating one banana (8.1 Sv) B Living vithin 50 miles of a coal pover plant for a year (8.3 uSv) Living in a stone, brick, or concrete 88 but iding for a year (70 usv) Chest CT scan (5.8 mSv) Average total dose from the Three 88 Hi le island accident to soneone living within 10 ni les (80 uSv) One arn x-ray (1 usv) Dose from spending an hour on the grounds at the Chernoby i plant in 2010 (6 nSv in one spot, but varies wildly) E Using a CRT monitor for a year (1 uSv) EPA year ly release limit for a nuclear pover plant (258 uSv) eoo0o Extra dose from spending one day in an orea with higher-than-average BARAA natural background radiation, such as the Colorado plateau (1.2 uSv) Year ly dose from 8806 natural potassium in the body (390 usv) Maximum year ly dose permitted for US radiation workers (50 nSv) Ha e Dental BA Extra dose from one Ba H or hand X-ray (5 uSv) day in an average town near the Fuku- H BARAR Maximum external dose 99998 from Three Mile Island to EPA year ly limit on radiation exposure to a single menber of the public (1 nSv=1,800 uSv) shima plant (3.5 µSv H as of tarch 17th, varies quite a bit) 98998 accident 88888 (1 Sv) Background dose received by an average person over one normal day (10 uSv) Manmogram (3 mSv) Airplane flight from Neu York to LA (40 usv) One-day dose (-3.6 Sv) at two sites Se km NV o1 Fukushina on_3/16, seen again on 3/17.
