Actually, the red soils in SC and NC where much of the tobacco is grown
[and from which bricks are made] often has a high natural Radon content and
certain plants have a tendency to absorb certain things..like water
hyacinth tends to absorb heavy metals from waste water.
Radon gas detectors are very common in homes around here..and basements
in newish homes, rare.
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas and radioactive element. It is one of
the heaviest room temperature gases on Earth. It is a radioactive decay
product of radium.
If you've ever checked red brick or a hunk of Granite with a Geiger
counter, you'd know something about natural radiation.
Did you know that a granite building is deemed unsafe for 24 hour habitation?
Regarding depleted uranium: It's no more hazardous to touch than lead.
What little radiation it does emit is of a very low energy. A marble floor
or granite counter top could pose a greater radiological hazard. Granted,
like most other heavy metals it is toxic. You don't want to breath it or
swallow it
Since when do uranium tailings have any nitrogen in them?
Who goes way the heck out into the stinkin desert to transport what can lay
there forever if they don't have to?
The production of synthetic ammonia fertilizer currently consumes about 5%
of global <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas>natural gas
consumption, which is somewhat under 2% of world energy production.
The "radiation" source is already here and isn't "added"...no need to
import it...and so much for "journalisms" warped attempt to vilify tobacco
producers and propagandize smokers once again.
If any radioactive thing is "sprayed" onto that crop, it comes from muddy
irrigation ponds. [and of course, no substitute for local water has been
found ]
..might want to take a peak what else is a bit radioactive.
Brazil Nuts are much more radioactive than bananas.
Your smoke detector emits more radiation than 2000 bananas.

bodhisattva,
Actually smoking a pack of cigarettes gives the smoker the
equivalent amount of radiation of one chest x-ray. It's my understanding
that the nitrogen rich fertilizer used is the source of the radiation...
it is made from uranium tailings and sold to make fertilizer. I don't
believe it is sprayed though... it is mixed in with the soil. This was
actually published in the New England Journal of Medicine in the early
80's. I remember reading the article.

Sadly, much of what you will find out there mainstream, is
disinformation. Seek the truth within, and you will be guided to external
events that give you the truth you sought. That's been my experience.
