Summary
| Description | A quick video about naturally occurring radioactive potassium shown through concentrated potassium chloride salt replacement. This is the same natural potassium found everywhere including in bananas, and is why bananas are said to be mildly radioactive. More information on K-40 and its applications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40 https://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/consumer%20products/potassiumgeneralinfo.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%E2%80%93Ar_dating Note: I am not making claims about the safety or danger of potassium chloride salt. Only a qualified health physicist can determine the safety of these sorts of things. Don't spread fear, uncertainty, or doubt based on my content. That's not what it's here for. ** |
