Health information in a clear and concise format. That's what the new podcast format ‘Risiko kompakt’ offers. In eight to ten minutes, it provides precise and easy-to-understand explanations of complex issues relating to real and perceived health risks. It is the latest addition to the audio content offered by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR).
