| Biological Effects of Radiation in Man : |
| ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... |
The effects of nuclear radiation in man are due to its energy absorbed in verious tissue, which is called dose. The effects depend on dose absorbed, the rate at which it is absorbed, type of radiation, strength of radiation & type of tissue.
Note:
Absorbed dose is measured in Gy or rad (1G = 100rad) & Tissueequivalent absorbed is measured in Sv or men (1Sv = 100rem)However,incase of xy radiation , practically there is no much difference R, Rad &em. So for understanding purpose, above data is given in R with 1Gy= 100Rapproximate relation.
