About Nanograys per hour

The nanogray per hour (nGy/h) equals 1e-9 Gy/h ≈ 2.78×10⁻¹³ Gy/s. Natural background cosmic-ray dose rates at sea level are 30-50 nGy/h; at aviation cruising altitude they rise to 3000-6000 nGy/h. IAEA environmental surveillance networks and national monitoring stations report ambient gamma dose rates in nGy/h. 1 nGy/h = 1e-9 Gy/h.

About Kilograys per second

The kilogray per second (kGy/s) equals 1e3 Gy/s. Encountered in FLASH radiotherapy research at ultra-high dose rates and in high-power industrial electron accelerators for polymer crosslinking and cable curing at pulse-peak intensities; free-electron laser (FEL) and wakefield accelerator beam-loss dosimetry reports cite kGy/s. 1 kGy/s = 1e3 Gy/s = 3.6 MGy/h.
