About Sieverts
The sievert (Sv) is the SI coherent unit of equivalent and effective dose, equal to 1 J/kg of absorbed dose weighted by radiation type. Named after Rolf Sievert (Swedish radiophysicist, 1896-1966). Whole-body LD50 for acute exposure ~3-5 Sv; ICRP emergency responder limit 0.25 Sv; acute radiation syndrome threshold ~1 Sv. 1 Sv = 100 rem = 1 J/kg.
About Femtosieverts
The femtosievert (fSv) equals 10⁻¹⁵ Sv. Used in computational nanodosimetry and Monte Carlo particle-transport simulations to characterise the equivalent dose from a single ion traversal through a DNA segment or cell organelle. Ultra-sensitive detector calibration in deep underground laboratories approaches the fSv level. 1 fSv = 10⁻¹⁵ Sv = 10⁻³ pSv.
