The Sievert (symbol: Sv) is the SI unit of measure used to quantify the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human health. It is a derived unit that takes into account the type of radiation and its impact on living tissues. Specifically, the Sievert measures the dose of radiation absorbed by an organism, adjusted for the type of radiation (such as alpha, beta, gamma radiation, etc.) and the sensitivity of different tissues to radiation.
