If you're breathing radioactive radon gas, how dangerous is it?, and what's the likelihood of you getting lung cancer? Risk Bites looks at radon safety, and the potential harm that being exposed to this radioactive gas can cause . #radon #risk #safety #exposure USEFUL LINKS US Environmental P
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
In this film you will learn more about the origin and effect of the gas. You will receive valuable tips on how to determine radon exposure and what you can do about too much radon in the house. Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All translations in this video hav
How do you work out how safe or dangerous a chemical or some other substance is? This week's Risk Bites takes a look at chemical safety, and estimating health risk from chemical exposure. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (post-production) Andrew Maynard (all the other stuff) Risk Bite

Recent research suggests that some exposure early on to peanut products might be helpful in reducing the risks of later peanut allergies. If you're allergic to peanuts, or have a child that's allergic, you'll know how serious a condition it is. For years, parents have been advised to keep infants
Learn about gravitational waves and how they can be detected in this video from NOVA: Black Hole Apocalypse. Use this resource to visualize abstract concepts related to waves and wave interactions and to provide opportunities for students to develop and use models and to communicate explanations wit
What is a Sievert, and why are they used to measure radiation exposure? Although we're exposed to ionizing radiation all the time, high levels can cause illness, disease, and even death. Yet working out how much radiation leads to specific health outcomes is complicated by the fact that different t

Measurement technologies are getting increasingly sensitive -- but what does it mean for risk when we can measure the smallest amount of a substance in the stuff we eat, drink and breathe? Note: In talking about the hypothetical risk from the hypothetical substance Greensave, the video talks abou
What is toxicology, and why might a toxicologist just turn out to be your best friend? Risk Bites takes a look in this brief introduction to the science of toxic chemicals that might harm you, and how it's relevant to risk assessment. Risk Bites was created by Andrew Maynard, and is supported by th
Radon is a radioactive noble gas. It can enter our homes through cracks – if it accumulates there and we breathe it in for a long time, it can cause cancer. Radon is actually everywhere, but it is distributed differently from region to region. To determine whether you have radon in the house, only m
