We will convert Sv into mrem so that we can compare easily
As we know that
1 rem = 0.01 Sv
1rem = 1000 mrem
In an accident person receives radiation
R1 = 3.59*10^-4 Sv x 1rem/0.01Sv
= 3.59*10^-2 rem x 1000mrem/rem
= 35.9 mrem
From cosmic rays person receives radiation
R2 = 27 mrem/yr
R1 > R2
In an accident person receives radiation is more serious.
