Welcome to the third chapter of the Store to Control Tech Basic Training! In this video, we dive into the world of explosive atmospheres and what it means to work safely within them. You'll learn what the 'X' symbol stands for—certified electrical equipment designed for potentially explosive environ
The Barry Glacier on Alaska's southern coast is located on one of many fjords that are extremely vulnerable to climate change. Researchers suspect that the melting glacier could cause large debris avalanches. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Region Five/I. Zink/O. Roetz/Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbing:
Melting ice in the Arctic is causing a rising wildfire risk in western North America. White ice reflects sunlight back into space. If it diminishes, the heat remains in the air layers and favors hot, dry weather. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Nathan Niemeier/Martin Schaaf Translation and dubbing: alugha Cl
What's is dose response, and what's it got to do with hazard and health risk? This is the first of a series of Risk Bites videos on understanding what dose response is, and why it's useful! This is part of a series of Risk Bites videos that tackle dose response and response models. This week's Ri
What's the difference between a threshold dose response model, and a no-threshold model? And what are the limitations of each? This week Risk Bites tackles the basics of dose-response models. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (Animation concepts, editing, closed captions) Andrew Maynard
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
What is risk? And what is risk assessment? [Note from AM - I've been surprised at how tough it is to talk about risk in an accessible yet accurate way in just a couple of minutes. Looking back over this video and next week's, I can feel the paranoia creeping in that some of the basic concepts are
How do you know how likely something is to kill you? Or how do you work out how beneficial something is? Welcome to micromorts and microlives! Just how dangerous is crossing the road? And what's the real payback on eating healthily and exercising regularly? Neither are easy to get our heads aroun
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
We'll be tackling the risks of nanoparticles and other particles more fully when Risk Bites launches formally in November. But until then, here's a roller-coaster ride of a video on what might be important when thinking about the risks and benefits or nanoparticles - or any other particles for that
