If there is a suspicion of increased radiation exposure, there are various ways to determine it. One possibility is biological dosimetry, which can be used to estimate the level of individual radiation exposure. In the video, Dr. Ulrike Kulka explains how radiation exposure in humans can be biologic
Our stationary probes measure the local dose rate at a specific location around the clock. So we always know how much it is radiating at that place. But in order to determine what is radiating there - i.e. which substances - we need a different kind of measurement. We carry them out at regular inter
Our sun. Their radiation provides light and warmth and thus promotes well-being. But the sun's ultraviolet radiation can also be harmful to health. Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All translations in this video have been done by the alugha AI.
A high dose of radiation can damage the human organism or even lead to acute illnesses. Even years or decades later, so-called stochastic radiation effects can occur, which can often result in cancer. In the video, Dr. Maria Schnelzer explains how radiation affects humans and explains the health con
Wi-Fi, power lines, smartphones – electromagnetic fields accompany us in everyday life. What do people think about the dangers? What do they want to say to those responsible? The Federal Office for Radiation Protection asked people about this in 2019. Here are their answers. Original: "Federal Offi

The global distribution of human skin tones matches the intensity of UV radiation. At the equator, where radiation is highest, dark skin protects against radiation damage. In the north, on the other hand, lighter skin is beneficial. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Tobias Schultes/Albrecht M. Wendlandt Transla
Radiation is everywhere, it always surrounds us. In some places, however, more than in others. What does it look like in a marketplace, for example? Vicky and Tim are out and about in the city and explain to us what kind of radiation they encounter and where there are risks - and where there are not
When something like the herbicide Glyphosate (Roundup) is labeled "probably causes cancer", what does this mean? This question was prompted by Grist, who asked us: "Hey Risk Bites guy, the WHO just said that the herbicide in Roundup probably causes cancer -- what's the deal with that? It seems lik
