You don't see it, and you don't feel it: radiation. Nevertheless, humans are always exposed to radiation. Shielding makes sense. Natural radioactive substances in soils and rocks emit radiation. And it comes not only from the earth, but also from heaven. The higher, the stronger the cosmic rays. I

We operate a nationwide monitoring network for radioactivity in Germany. It is used for the constant monitoring of artificial and natural environmental radioactivity. If the values were to go up, our experts would notice it very quickly. The video shows how the measurement network works. More detail
Radioactive substances are found everywhere in our environment. They can enter the human body through inhalation or food. In the video, Dr. Udo Gerstmann explains how to measure radioactivity in the body with a whole-body counter and when it is used. Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protecti
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
Our measuring network for the current natural radiation exposure (or local dose rate, ODL for short) is managed from six monitoring network nodes. In this video, we introduce you to our colleagues from the measuring network nodes in Berlin. More information is also available from https://odlinfo.bfs
Discover the enchanting world of Utah’s geothermal hot springs, where warm, mineral-rich waters offer a perfect blend of relaxation, healing, and natural beauty. From the serene Meadow Hot Springs near Fillmore to the colorful Mystic Hot Springs and the adventurous 5th Water Hot Springs, this podcas
Around 1,700 probes measure environmental radioactivity in Germany around the clock – and all of them have to be maintained regularly. In a new video from the series "50 Years of the Radioactivity Measurement Network", we show you what is in the probes and what tests they have to undergo again and a
In the event of a nuclear accident, it is important to predict the spread of the radioactivity released as quickly as possible. These forecasts are the basis for measures to protect the population. In the video, Dr. Florian Gering explains which data is included in the forecast calculations and what
The natural water cycle is powered from solar energy. Its thermal radiation evaporates water from oceans, lakes and rivers into water vapour. As precipitation, the water enters lakes, rivers and groundwater and eventually flows into the sea. Author: 3sat/nano, mirror TV, Christine Voges, R. Engelk
1,700 probes are distributed throughout Germany and permanently monitor the #Umweltradioaktivität. In this video we show you where the probes are, what the measurement results depend on and what can happen in the life of a probe ... You can see the exact measurement results here: https://odlinfo.bf
With the monitoring network for the monitoring of the local dose rate (ODL), the BfS monitors the natural radiation exposure in Germany at around 1,800 measuring points. In the video, Frank Weiler explains how the measuring network works, how it automatically triggers an alarm in an emergency and wh
