One unit can liberate enough electrons and positrons to produce emissions of either charge of one electrostatic unit of electricity per 0.001293 g of air (the weight of 1 cm3 of dry air at 0\u00b0C and at 760 mm Hg).The roentgen is the unit of measurement for the quantity of X or gamma radiation. It serves as the international unit for the exposure dose of x-rays and gamma rays. A roentgen of radiation is defined as the amount that can ionize dry air to produce one electrostatic unit of electricity per 0.001293 gram of air."}
