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
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
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
The greater use of renewable energies from solar and wind requires the expansion of the electricity grids. Radiation protection plays an important role in this because electric and magnetic fields are generated by additional high-voltage lines. How great are possible loads from high-voltage lines? W
The right sun protection is important if you want to avoid negative long-term consequences of too much UV radiation. But what is the best way to protect yourself? In three minutes, the animation shows what needs to be considered for sun protection. Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection
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
We train! Some of our (former) #Azubis explain what the training as a biology laboratory assistant looks like here in #München in the video itself. We also provide training in other professions (e.g. IT specialist) and at other locations. More information on training at the BfS: https://www.bfs.de/a
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
Wi-Fi, power lines, smartphones – electromagnetic fields accompany us in everyday life. What do people think about the dangers? What do they want to say to those responsible? The Federal Office for Radiation Protection asked people about this in 2019. Here are their answers. Original: "Federal Offi
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
After the end of the Cold War, the warning offices were gradually closed and the radioactivity measurement network was transferred to the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. In the video, we explain what changes this has meant. More information about the monitoring network can be found on http
With ProTect, dangerous press fabric measurements are a thing of the past. The system is safe, easy and extremely flexible. It consists of a self-propelled carriage, fixture and any number of traverse beams. It allows a precise measurement of fabric moisture and permeability at various sites. More
