1 rem = 0.01 Sv
The standard unit of radiation related to biological hazard is known as sievert denoted by Sv. The smaller unit for the same is called rem (100 rem is 1 Sv). The difference between the unit of absorbed dose(Gray / rad) and Sv is that sievert also takes into account the biological effectiveness of the different types of radiation
Sieverts and milliSieverts are used now. They replaced the old rem and millirem. There is a factor 100 difference, so 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. The current limit for nuclear industry employees is 20 milliSv/year, though the actual average level in the US is about 2.4 milliSv.
The sievert is a unit of radiation dose equivalent, used to measure the biological effect of ionizing radiation on living tissue. It takes into account the type of radiation, the energy of the radiation, and the specific tissues or organs affected. The sievert is the standard unit for measuring radiation doses in the International System of Units (SI).
