Detecting Hazards: From Radioactive Materials to Biological Threats

In summary, detecting hazards involves identifying and monitoring potential dangers, ranging from radioactive materials to biological threats. This process involves utilizing specialized equipment and techniques to detect and assess the level of risk posed by these hazards. This information is crucial for developing effective safety measures and responding to emergencies in a timely and appropriate manner. Advances in technology have led to more efficient and accurate methods of detecting hazards, but ongoing research and preparedness are still necessary to effectively mitigate potential risks.

Hello!

I'm an electrical engineer from Hungary, who also does a lot of physics and biology in job. At the beginning of my career I worked with X-ray systems control and image processing, then with isotope diagnostic devices, then with non-invasive electrobiological measurements and spirometry. I am currently working in the field of detecting of hazardous substances and agents.

I am interested in physics and science as a hobby and as a job too.

Do you mean like the devices that the Fire Department and HAZMAT specialists use in the field?

We made a device for radioactive material detection. And now we are working on to detect biological threats in air - we are still in research phase. The goal is to develop a handheld, or mobile system. I can share more info on private channel if you would like.
