The radiation exposure of ionizing radiation is often expressed as equivalent dose per time unit, e. g. as millisievert per year (mSv/a). This converter calculates the radiation exposure for a number of time intervals under the assumption of a continous and constant radiation.

Move the mouse over a unit or click on it to read its full name.
Example: The average natural radiation exposure in Germany is about 2.1 millisievert per year. How much is the hourly exposure ? Type "2.1" into the field behind which "mSv/a" is written. Click on any empty space in the window or on the "calculate" button. Read the result in the other fields. (e.g. 0.24 µSv/h).
