You certainly want nothing to do with the radon gas from the granite areas of Cornwall. ;>) Reply to this message | Report message

There's a lot of granite about though bathtub - Devon, Derbyshire, Cumbria + other countries such as Cymru, Alba etc.. www.hse.gov.uk/radiation/ionising/radon.htm Reply to this message | Report message

they hide the radio antenna in those electronic map boards near railway stations/ bus stations ....the ones that tell you where you are and where the nearest restaurant is etc etc Reply to this message | Report message

i was under the impression that the luminous paint on watch hands was pretty bad for ones health, and worse for the watch assemblers who licked the paint brushes for a finer line Reply to this message | Report message

I remember an experiment in school physics where we were solemnly issued with special gloves, a radio-active sample in a lead-lined box, long tongs, protective screen, etc, and tried to measure a tiny amount of radioactivity on a geiger counter. One boy's counter went berserk, right off the scale. It was his watch, an old one with genuine radioactive luminous paint. Reply to this message | Report message

Radium + Zinc sulphide. The latter fluoresces. And after a few decades it stops doing so as the structure disintegrates. Radium, meanwhile, has a half life of 1600 years. The luminous paint from old watches is the traditional source of radiation for home-nuclear physicists... Reply to this message | Report message

We are in a granite area and the house is made of granite. Luckily there isn't a cellar, because of the granite. When we bought the house I asked the Notaire and agent about a check for Radon in France and both professed never to have heard of such a thing. Ten years on it exists, I gather...

Just watched an iterview on CBS news with the top US nuclear expert who has been in Japan since the event. " The Japanese plant manager Masao Yoshida decided to flood the plant with sea water. His boss the plant owner said stop but the plant manager said OK but then carried on." This is credited with saving a much bigger disaster www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50121730n&tag=contentMain;contentBody Good to see someone on CBS agreeing with www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2067166/Fukushima-nuclear-plant-boss-Masao-Yoshida-hospital-NOT-radiation.html Reply to this message | Report message

I have a friend who has lived on the top floor of the block of flats i live in he has been here for thirty years and has been affected by the 15 tons of telephone equipment on the roof he has had tests for radiation poisoning but that was a waste of time (cover up according to him) i feel sorry for the guy he is only 60 but shuffles around on a zimmer frame he can hardly hold because his hands are so twisted up Reply to this message | Report message

Not very nice to be in that situation at 60.Maybe its a good job we don't know the amount of poison what enters our body.Our immune system must work overtime to keep us alive.And good doctors. Reply to this message | Report message
