In the series "Explain your Research" we introduce you to researchers from the BfS and their research areas. Patrizia is the first to do so: she uses so-called anthropomorphic phantoms to determine what radiation dose patients could receive with certain new X-ray and CT technologies. Original: "Fed
In the series "Explain your Research" we introduce you to researchers from the BfS and their research areas. Sven is looking for new methods to investigate whether a person has absorbed certain radioactive substances into their body. This is very important for people who work with such radioactive m
We train! Some of our (former) #Azubis explain what the training as a biology laboratory assistant looks like here in #München in the video itself. We also provide training in other professions (e.g. IT specialist) and at other locations. More information on training at the BfS: https://www.bfs.de/a
And what can you do with it? In this video, we show you how a Helmholtz coil works and how the BfS Competence Centre for Electromagnetic Fields uses it. #emf #magnetfeld #helmholtz By the way: The exposimeters from the video can also be borrowed: https://www.bfs.de/DE/themen/emf/kompetenzzentrum/ve
In the event of a nuclear accident abroad, BfS employees can support the affected state through various offers of assistance. In the video, Dr. Stefan Seifert explains the use of mobile measuring devices that determine the level of radiation and explains how the different radioactive particles can b
With the monitoring network for the monitoring of the local dose rate (ODL), the BfS monitors the natural radiation exposure in Germany at around 1,800 measuring points. In the video, Frank Weiler explains how the measuring network works, how it automatically triggers an alarm in an emergency and wh
The helicopter measurements have been carried out in cooperation with the Federal Police since 1989. By using BfS measurement technology, it is possible to quickly and precisely obtain an overview of which radioactive substances have been deposited on the ground and in what concentration they are pr
Electromagnetic fields virtually everywhere. How strongly or weakly you are exposed to them in everyday life can be measured with exposimeters. We tried it out and documented it in this video. We also lend these exposimeters to interested parties. More info: www.bfs.de/messgeraeteverleih #emf #ele
Is 5G dangerous? What are frequencies in mobile communications all about and what effects do they have on humans? In the video, our colleague Alexander Leymann explains what the electromagnetic fields with which mobile communications actually work. In addition, what effects there are and how all thi
The EURO is in full swing and we are dedicating ourselves to the third best way to protect yourself from UV radiation: applying sunscreen. We'll show you what to look out for and we'll support you in the fan zones. As always, more information at: www.bfs.de/euro24-uv-sicher #fußball #fussball #uvs
Our measuring network for the current natural radiation exposure (or local dose rate, ODL for short) is managed from six monitoring network nodes. In this video, we introduce you to our colleagues from the measuring network nodes in Berlin. More information is also available from https://odlinfo.bfs
Can you still use sunscreen from last year? And does waterproof really mean waterproof? We are asked this question again and again: In this video we get to the bottom of the matter. More information about sun protection, UV protection and skin cancer prevention can also be found on https://www.bfs.
