What are Rem/second and Attogray/second

Definition of Rem/second

Rem/second, or Roentgen equivalent man per second, is a measure of dose rate used in radiation protection. It indicates the biological effect of radiation exposure, considering the type of radiation and its impact on human tissue. This unit is particularly significant in the medical field, where understanding the rate of radiation exposure is crucial for both safety and treatment efficacy. By quantifying the exposure rate in rem/s, professionals can assess potential risks and manage radiation protection strategies effectively.

Definition of Attogray/second

Attogray/second is a unit representing an extremely small dose rate of absorbed radiation. It is one quintillionth (10^-18) of a gray per second, where a gray is the SI unit of absorbed dose, indicating how much radiation energy is deposited in a material. This unit is often used in scientific research where precise measurement of low-level radiation is necessary. Understanding agy/s is essential for studies involving minimal radiation exposure, ensuring accurate data collection and analysis in fields such as environmental science and radiobiology.

Conversion of Rem/second to Attogray/second

1 rem/s = 1.0E+18 agy/s
1 agy/s = 1.0E-18 rem/s

Example 1:
convert 5 rem/s to agy/s:
5 rem/s = 5 × 1.0E+18 agy/s = 5.0E+18 agy/s

Example 2:
convert 3.5 rem/s to agy/s:
3.5 rem/s = 3.5 × 1.0E+18 agy/s = 3.5E+18 agy/s

History of Rem/second and Attogray/second
