Welcome to the RIB Joint. A blog discussing science issues with an emphasis on health physics and agnotology.
We'll try to keep 'em honest.
So dig in!

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.
