How do air filters work?

How do filters remove particles from the air and reduce exposure - especially the small ones? As this Risk Bites primer shows as it dives into the science of aerosol particle capture, it may not be how you think! Air filters are an important tool for protecting health, improving air quality, and

How to find radioactive substances in the air

There are various methods for measuring radioactivity in the air. With the help of trace analysis, even very low concentrations of radioactivity in the air can be detected. In the video, Jacqueline Bieringer explains how to detect radioactive substances in the air. Original: "Federal Office for Rad

Causes of air pollution

Air pollution has many causes. The biggest polluter is energy production, with two-thirds of particulate emissions coming from coal-fired power plants. Road traffic and factory farming in agriculture also contribute to this. Author: 3sat/nano/Labo M/Johan von Mirbach/Chris Caliman/Christoph Valenti

ScienceCasts: Monitoring Air Quality

Earth System: Drought and Air Quality

Droughts claim more victims each year than any other natural disaster. Depending on where it occurs and how long it persists, the cost of a drought can run into the billions of dollars. Droughts cause more than economic hardship, however. As this video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Fligh

How is wind created?

When air is in motion, wind is created. Temperature differences are responsible for this. When air warms up, it rises and colder air flows in. This is the cool wind that we feel. There is almost always wind on the coasts. Author: ZDF/Pur+/Autorenkombinat/Tobias Schönke/Carina Schulz/Jochen Schmidt

The importance of urban green spaces

Green spaces are the "lungs" of the city - a vital necessity for cleaner air and good health. Our video outlines some benefits of urban green spaces and discusses ideas for building greener cities. #greenspace #environmentday #worldenvironmentday #urbangreenspaces #greenspaces Transcript: alugha C

How do tropical deserts form?

When warm, humid air rises and cools down at the equator, the moisture condenses into clouds and it starts to rain. When it sinks again, the air warms up and causes extreme dryness, forming tropical deserts. Author: ZDF/Terra X/I.Zink/Wendevarga/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alugha Cli

What is lab grown meat, and would you eat it?

Imagine eating a hamburger that is in every way identical to the hamburgers you’re used to eating… except that did not come from an animal. While this may sound like science fiction, cultured meats (also known as lab-grown meat, slaughter-free meat, in-vitro meat, or even clean meat!) may be availab
