Re: Smoke Alarm alarming
Dear Roger, I thought that it would be common knowledge in America of the use of depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan. However American soldiers must be immune to radioactivity as they are going to send 250,000 troops into the areas where the depleted uranium has been used before. The veterans from the first Gulf War can testify as to the effectiveness of the use of depleted uranium. Should be interesting to keep the medical records of those soldiers. Pity even the poor technicians who will not know about the radioactivity of the areas around the wells that they will need to bring back on stream. but as Colin Powell has said he is not interested in those kinds of figures. The victory in Iraq will be a pyrrhic one when you look at the long term costs to the US. Our esteemed leaders who are holding a war conference next weekend will incur a karmic debt that will take them many lifetimes to pay off.

Re: Smoke Alarm alarming
Thanks all for your responses. What's appalling is that my government, engineers, and other politicians think it's ok to simply pollute, murder, poison and dump their crap on the whole world, not to mention legislating the use of these toxic devices in all of our homes (landlords, renters etc). What's amazing is here outside of NYC, one of the excuses to keep Indian Point Nukem plant open is that it would take umpty years to get rid of the nuclear waste anyway. What's amazing is that these smoke alarm manufacturers recommend putting these devices in every room of your house. More amazing, there have been real life tests of these devices at Texas A M proving they don't even work!!! What's more amazing, is that you can barely read the warnings printed on the box and the devices about proper disposal. What's more amazing is that the powers that be around here, keep churning this crap out onto an unsuspecting public...sorry, that little nukem sign really flashed me back to duck and cover days of my childhood. Jane S. PS: to Lloyd: when I lived in Texas, I cut out a great photo of some researchers standing under a grouping of power lines, holding two fluorescent light bulbs just in their hands, and yes they were lit up. I think I saved it in my picture files.

OT: Smoke Alarm alarming
Hello All, I just found out tonight when our smoke alarm kept beeping after changing the battery then taking it down from the ceiling, that it contains a small part with the old radioactive symbol on it and warnings about it containing radioactive material, which if needing repair should be sent to the company. Turns out after Curtis did a bit of research on the web, that their are two types of smoke detectors, one with the radioactive material one kind with a photo electric part. You can guess what might happen if such a device were to burn up in a fire. How is it possible that such things can be manufactured for use in the home? Does anyone know anything about these things? Are our landfills, incinerators backyards full of these things decaying and leaking radioactivity along with all the other pollutants? Thanks for any insight into this amazing secret in so many of our homes. Jane Sherry

Hi Jane Arden Andersen showed us a video of John Ott (a time lapse photo hobbyist and retired banker) - he did the photography for Walt Disney pictures - dance of the flowers and cinderella where the coach turned into a pumpkin - anyway he did extensive research on the effects of flouro lights and other energy things and used to carry a smoke alarm around for demonstrations of muscle testing - IN A LEAD LINED BOX- he said on the video thats the only place this thing should be. If you can get hold of this (video) its really interesting - the effects of certain types of fluro lights are a real worry. Try to get hold of this if you can - called 'Exploring the Spectrum' Dr John Ott , also his book Light, Radiation, and You. Cheers Lloyd Charles

The other difficult thing to figure out is the US gov's push to dispose of radioactive waste by putting it into products.

Re: OT: Smoke Alarm alarming
By far the greater proportion of smoke detectors are the type with the radioactive part. I understand that you need to get it in you lung to do much harm. They are taken back by the resellers in Oz. One should not be burning plastic, so they should not be a risk there. They should not go in the land fill, they should be returned to the recyclers.
