About Millisieverts
The millisievert (mSv) equals 10⁻³ Sv and is the primary international radiation protection unit. ICRP 103 occupational limit 20 mSv/year averaged over 5 years; worldwide average background ~2.4 mSv/year; abdominal CT ~10 mSv; EU medical exposure directive and IAEA dose limits are quoted in mSv. 1 mSv = 10⁻³ Sv = 100 mrem.
About Picosieverts
The picosievert (pSv) equals 10⁻¹² Sv. Microdosimetry models of single α-particle traversals through cell nuclei report mean specific energies in the pSv range; ultra-low-background radiation detectors in deep underground laboratories for dark matter searches are characterised at pSv sensitivity levels. 1 pSv = 10⁻¹² Sv = 10⁻³ nSv.
