The details depend on what type of radiation you are thinking about. Some units that apply to lots of types of radiation include:* Power
* Intensity, which is power per unit area
* Frequency and wavelength - many types of radiation come in waves.

Radiation is measured in various units such as becquerels (Bq) for activity, gray (Gy) for absorbed dose, sievert (Sv) for equivalent dose, and rem (roentgen equivalent man) for dose equivalent. The choice of unit depends on the specific type of radiation being measured and the context in which it is being used.
Roentgen
A millisievert (mSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify radiation dose. It represents one-thousandth of a sievert, the standard unit for measuring radiation dose. The millisievert is commonly used to assess radiation exposure from medical procedures and environmental sources.
The SI unit used for measuring width is meters (m).
A unit of weight formerly used for measuring grain is a bushel.
Devices used in measuring potential hazards include gas detectors for detecting toxic gases, radiation detectors for measuring radiation levels, and pH meters for assessing chemical hazards. Other devices include dosimeters for measuring exposure to radiation, infrared cameras for detecting hot spots, and noise dosimeters for measuring noise levels.
