The standard unit of radiation related to biological hazard is known as sievert denoted by Sv. The smaller unit for the same is called rem (100 rem is 1 Sv). The difference between the unit of absorbed dose(Gray / rad) and Sv is that sievert also takes into account the biological effectiveness of the different types of radiation

Which of the package labels below would indicate the lowest external radiation hazard?
The package label indicating the lowest external radiation hazard would typically be the "White-I" label, which signifies that the package has a radiation level of less than 0.5 millirem per hour at one meter from the surface. This label indicates minimal risk to the public and is used for materials with very low levels of radioactivity. In contrast, Yellow-II and Yellow-III labels indicate higher levels of radiation.
How does a hazard led to a disaster?
A hazard is a warning to people(s) that by doing something to a object it could cause a disaster. Eg. a hazard warning on a door. by going in you could get radiation poisoning, leading to a disaster. or if there is a hazard warning for a area and it then escalates causing a disaster ( winds pick up and turn into a twister).
Where does background radiation originate?
Background radiation can come from all sorts of sources, some natural, some man-made.Examples include...cosmic rays from spaceradon gas emitted from the earth's crustelectromagnetic radiation from a number of possible sourcesatomic radiation from nuclear substances.For much more information see Related links below this box.
The standard unit of radiation related to biologic hazard is?
The standard unit of radiation related to biologic hazard is the Sievert (Sv). It is used to measure the potential biological damage caused by radiation exposure. It takes into account both the type of radiation and its effect on different tissues in the body.
