Is using a cell phone harmful to your health? In the first of a two-parter, Risk Bites looks at the chances of your cell phone giving you brain cancer (spoiler alert: not a lot). Next time -- the more worrisome risk of your phone placing you in a life or death situation. Note: The video refers t
All living organisms are made up of cells - they are the basic building blocks of life. There are two important categories of cells: plant cells and animal cells. In this video we look at animal cells in more detail. Animal cells are the type of cell that make up our bodies... and the bodies of al
Is using a phone while driving dangerous? In the second of a two-parter, Risk Bites looks at cell phone use and distracted driving. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (Script, post-production) Ray Bingham (Technical Advice) Andrew Maynard (all the other stuff) Additional information:
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 body is a pretty fantastic feat of engineering. But how does it work? How do all of the different components come together to keep us alive, keep us functioning and achieving our goals? In this video we are going to look at the levels of organisation in organisms, from smaller than cells to bigg
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
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

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
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.
