Concentration total amount of all "other" constituents in a mixture: If formula_6 is much smaller than formula_26, the mole ratio is almost identical to the mole fraction. The SI unit is mol/mol. However, the deprecated parts-per notation is often used to describe small mole ratios. The mass fraction formula_33 is the fraction of one substance with mass formula_2 to the mass of the total mixture formula_35, defined as: The SI unit is kg/kg. However, the deprecated parts-per notation is often used to describe small mass fractions. The mass ratio formula_37 is defined as the mass of a constituent formula_2 divided by
Health physics of the Health Division... the name also served security: 'radiation protection' might arouse unwelcome interest; 'health physics' conveyed nothing.'" The following table shows radiation quantities in SI and non-SI units. Although the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission permits the use of the units curie, rad, and rem alongside SI units, the European Union European units of measurement directives required that their use for "public health ... purposes" be phased out by 31 December 1985. Health physics Health physics is the applied physics of radiation protection for health and health care purposes. It is the science concerned with the recognition, evaluation,
