The intention is to spread radioactive material over a large area. RDDs are not a new idea. The military considered creating such devices in 1941.

Lead, or Pb2+, is a naturally occurring toxicant, which was used in lead-based paints. The impact of lead poisoning in adults is far less serious than it is on child exposed whilst still developing. Pb2+ has the ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier as well as through the placenta into a developing fetus. A pregnant woman exposed to small amounts of lead that may not harm her leads the way for long-term effects on the child’s learning and memory due to the blocking of NMDA receptors in…

Background: Lead is a neurotoxin that is exceedingly harmful to human health. The government attempted to ban lead in products such as paint and gasoline. However, lead can still found in soil. Most recreational parks where children play have soil that contain lead. Exposure to lead may cause similar health conditions to anemia. Uncontaminated soil contains lead concentrations less than 50 parts per million (ppm). Yet soil lead levels in many areas exceed 200 ppm. The research will highlight…

Protests about saving the earth is all over the internet if searched, and recycling is most often always reinforced in public school across America as well as the idea of wasting the things we’re ever so blessed to obtain. However, within the big picture of what could result from global warming, ocean acidification, and all other world-polluting occurrences, the measurement and discovery about what has already resulted is not as publicized… at least not in regards to the backbone of all…
