Wherever we are, we are exposed to radiation. Sometimes we feel them, often we don't even notice them. People have always lived with natural radiation. Radiation has an effect on people and their health. But how exactly does it work, when and how do you have to protect yourself? The Federal Office f
The greater use of renewable energies from solar and wind requires the expansion of the electricity grids. Radiation protection plays an important role in this because electric and magnetic fields are generated by additional high-voltage lines. How great are possible loads from high-voltage lines? W
The right sun protection is important if you want to avoid negative long-term consequences of too much UV radiation. But what is the best way to protect yourself? In three minutes, the animation shows what needs to be considered for sun protection. Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection
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
Tim's sister Vicky works in radiation research. She shows him where we encounter radiation everywhere - and what it actually is. #strahlenschutz #strahlung #radioaktivität #radioaktiv #uv #mobilfunk #handy #röntgen Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All translat
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
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
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

Four pillars of UV protection: The Federal Office for Radiation Protection explains how UV protection is becoming even more common practice in municipalities, schools and sports grounds. Climate change is already having a noticeable influence on UV radiation and thus on people's UV exposure. For ex

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
