Nearly one in every three deaths and injuries on the road are related to driver fatigue. Health and safety laws aim to reduce driver fatigue, but not the risk of what sleep scientists call drowsiness. Mark Horstman test drives an Australian first technology - smart glasses - designed to measure the velocity of a blinking eye and the tell-tale signs of drowsiness. Whole fleets of vehicles can be monitored by a central control room from a distance, allowing employers to pull drivers off the road before they're in danger of taking an unintentional 'nanonap'.

Description
This video focuses on determining safe levels of radiation. Radiation is around us in both natural and artificial forms including dangerous types of radiation in the form of alpha particles, and increased levels of cosmic radiation in planes, radon gas, and medical x-rays. To maintain a safe level of radiation we should keep both artificial and natural exposure to radiation as low as possible.
