Sievert per second
A dose rate that results in one sievert of biological effect per second.
History: Named after Rolf Sievert. While the gray measures physical absorption, the sievert accounts for biological impact.
Current use: Used in radiation protection to describe the rate of biological risk accumulation.
Also written as Sv/s.
Watt per kilogram
One watt (joule per second) of power absorbed per kilogram of mass.
History: Expresses dose rate as specific power absorption.
Current use: Used in both ionizing radiation and RF safety (SAR - Specific Absorption Rate).
Also written as W/kg.
