Exposure to high levels of radiation, around 1 to 10 sieverts, can lead to severe radiation sickness, organ failure, and ultimately death. Long-term exposure to lower levels of radiation can also increase the risk of cancer. It is important to minimize exposure to radiation as much as possible to protect health.

What are dangerous levels of radiation?
We don't know for sure.The average person receives between 2 and 3 millisieverts of radiation dose per year from natural causes, cosmic rays, and medical procedures. It takes about 250 millisieverts to cause any noticeable change in blood chemistry, and it takes about 750 millisieverts before any noticeable signs of illness occur, but at that level, recovery is likely.Beyond that point, we get into the sieverts range, where 1 sieverts is 1000 millisieverts...1 to 2 sieverts results in nausea and vomiting with a probabilistic mortality of about 5% after 30 days. 2 to 6 sieverts results in additional impacts and a probabilistic mortality of 50% in 30 days. 6 to 8 sieverts results in severe impact with a mortality of 50% to 100% in 7 days. 8 to 30 sieverts results in mortality of 100%. More than 30 sieverts results in death within 48 hours.For more information, please see the Related Link below.At lower levels, uncertainty abounds, so the policy is to be As Low As Reasonably Achievable, otherwise known as the ALARA principle.
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor the exposure (dose) to a person is reported in?
REM's or Sieverts
What are all the measurements used for radiation?
Common measurements for radiation include sieverts (Sv), grays (Gy), becquerels (Bq), and roentgens (R). Sieverts and grays are used to measure absorbed dose, while becquerels measure the activity of a radioactive source, and roentgens measure the ionization of air caused by radiation.
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor the exposure dose to a person is reported in?
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor, the exposure dose to a person is reported in sieverts (Sv). The sievert is the unit of measurement for the health effect of radiation on the human body, taking into account both the type of radiation and the tissue sensitivity.
