How much total radiation is there in a chest x-ray. And what does that compare to a 1hr walk on a sunny beach?

I know that beach sand is latently radio active, as well as the solar radiation.How much total radiation is there in a chest x-ray. And what does that compare to a 1hr walk on a sunny beach?
Chest X ray provides around 0.1m sievert ( 1 sv = 1J/kg)

( the SI unit is gray, which would be J/kg m虏/s虏 depending on how long the xray takes ( fractures of a second) so maybe a few 碌 gray.)



As far as i know solar Xray radiation is pretty much absorbed by the atmosphere. Sand is usually quartz (silicates) which provide irrelevant doses of maybe a few 碌 sievert of gamma radiation, or less even during a whole day walking on it.

there is Radon in the air a noble gas with radioactive proportions, its decay delivers a lot more direct gamma radiation to you for details, see link below.



The UV radiation of the sun ( that is a different wavelenght than X rays, and therefore hard to compare) is problematic since UV light does not penetrate your flesh, like X rays, you only get a close to - surface radiation.



I cant seem to find any reliable data, since the amount of UV light that penetrates the atmosphere depends on the ozone and water in the air.



Anyways, radiation damages your DNA.

But your body is very well capable of repairing this damage, up to a certain point.

Radiation is not as dangerous as most people think. Still, it should be avoided if possible..



Edit

I realize that you meant radiation as in the movie and godzilla kind of way. But to be honest, that is fiction, reality is just not that simple.

X ray machines dont work with radiaoactive material, they emmit basically a strong electric impulse in a vacuum that induces Xrays.

Scientists have shown, that you can build an working Xray emitter out of duct tape, in a vacuum.
