What levels of radiation can support a person?
Exposure to 10,000 mSv, the equivalent of 100,000 chest X-rays, cause the death of a human in less than a month
Health staff measured radiation people evacuated from an area near the nuclear plant in Fukushima 1
How much radiation the human body can withstand? "From what level of exposure we are in danger? Fukushima plant yesterday issued 400 mSv (measurement of radiation dose) per hour, a toxic level but does not produce immediate adverse effects on health. To get an idea, it would be like subjecting women to 1,000 mammograms (every one is 0.4 mSv).
To clarify the doubts, then you can check levels of radiation (measured in mSv) and the effects on health:
10,000. 100% of the people who get killed in weeks.
6000. Doses of Chernobyl workers who died in a month.
5000. A single dose may kill 50% of people being exposed.
1000. A single dose could cause vomiting, dizziness, nausea, but not death.
400 . Maximum radiation emitted Fukushima plant yesterday, per hour.
350 . Exposure from which they were relocated residents of Chernobyl.
100 . Radiation limits recommended every five years for workers.
10 . Whole-body CT
9. Exposure a flight crew of New York-Tokyo receives in a year.
2. Radiation received annually from natural.
1.02. Hourly radiation detected in Fukushima on 12 March.
0.4. Mammography.
0.1. Chest radiograph.
0.01. Dental radiography.
