Chris Busby Lies Some More
He just can't help himself, he's got two new videos:
Part 1:
Good costume and props, poor acting, decent fear mongering, and bad science. "If you integrate it you get 3 cps"...no, if you integrate over time you get counts not cps. "Dangerous material"...you are soooooo brave that you're handling it twice!!! HA! Lead-210 is naturally occurring, but you know that................................
Part 2:
"Scary stuff"...yeah, right. I can't say where the filter came from and I certainly don't trust where he says it came from. The levels of Cs at about 100 Bq/g of dust are elevated but we really don't know how much air was run through the filter. The levels of Pb-210 suggest that it's naturally occurring and a lot of air was run through the filter. Perhaps to intentionally get a lot of radioactivity to collect on the filter in order to promote fear-mongering.
