What does one attogray represent?

One attogray (aGy) equals 10^-18 gray and represents an extremely small absorbed dose of ionizing radiation.

Why convert attogray to nanogray?

Converting to nanogray helps translate very tiny doses into a scale used for environmental and low-level radiation monitoring.

Are attogray values easily measurable?

No, attogray quantities often require highly sensitive instruments as they represent extraordinarily small doses.
