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 are the ethical issues that emerge as our ability to detect chemicals in the environment around us improves? This week's risk bites looks at the ethical dimension of the measurement conundrum -- when our ability to detect stuff outstrips our understanding of what to do with the information. Th
The polarimeter is an important measuring instrument for determining the specific angle of rotation of an optically active substance. This first video is exclusively about the construction of a polarimeter. Afterwards, a short measurement is also carried out. Only in another video will I explain how
The helicopter measurements have been carried out in cooperation with the Federal Police since 1989. By using BfS measurement technology, it is possible to quickly and precisely obtain an overview of which radioactive substances have been deposited on the ground and in what concentration they are pr
Learn the basics about Measures of electricity. What techniques and methods are used to measure electricity? Find out more in this video! This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind The Fuse School. These videos
The Emergency Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and has been designated COVID-free by the department of Health since June 2020. Our award winning, state-of-the-art facility is led by a team of renowned doctors, highly skilled nurses and healthcare profes
How to measure your radiator for a Fichman Furniture Radiator Cover. This video shows a simple and straightforward process to measure your radiator. We love to help - if you have questions call us at 1-888-RAD-COVS or email a photo of your radiator to service@fichman.com! A written version of the
Explore how astronomers and scientists use astronomical units to measure distances in the solar system in this video adapted from NASA. The astronomical unit (au) -- equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun -- is a convenient unit of measure when talking about distances in the solar syste
What is solution-focused risk assessment, and how can it help in the governance of emerging technologies? Solution-focused risk assessment, or SFRA, is a novel way of thinking about and managing risks developed by Adam Finkel. It involves analyzing the good and bad consequences of what we can do to

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
Nuclear emergency preparedness means that all preparations are made to limit the dose to humans and minimize it as much as possible when large amounts of radioactivity are released into the environment. The catastrophic accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima and their consequences have contributed to
