Convert Picosieverts to Microsieverts
Convert Picosieverts (pSv) to Microsieverts (µSv) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µSv = pSv × 1.000000000e-6
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.
About Microsieverts
The microsievert (µSv) equals 10⁻⁶ Sv. Standard unit for individual low-dose exposures: chest X-ray ~20 µSv effective dose; transatlantic flight ~80 µSv; dental panoramic X-ray ~10-25 µSv. Personal electronic dosimeters in medical and industrial workplaces accumulate and display dose in µSv. 1 µSv = 10⁻⁶ Sv.
