Holyyyy Smokes Steemit'ers....
(Mind the pun)
This morning the fire alarms went off they're rockers.......
So I went a bit crazy at them....
And I am so glad I did.....
These mofo's are radioactive!!!!
Did you know that???
I am all about informed consent-And I don't even own a microwave for that reason! (I feel I am making informed decisions for my family-regardless what anyone else thinks)
I am pissed! How is that, it is not widely known that this [ACTUAL] potentially life saving device is also on another hand emitting radiation every single day?
How many do you have in your home? 3? 4? 5?
I would love to be able to say that I found unbiased scientific data to back up the statement, "Its no worse than background radiation that we experience everyday..."
But I can't.
On every front we are warned to stay away from radioactive substances...
And Americium-124 is no different. It is radioactive. (Please take note of the Project Manhattan Reference)
I would like to say here, that, Guess what?
Of course there is another option.
And a more effective one.
Typical that we don't all know that huh?
There are 2 main types of fire detectors and they have MAJOR differences in reliability....
Fast flame fires (i.e. petrochemical based fires etc) are detected by the radioactive detectors 30-90 seconds FASTER than the photoelectric type....
BUT....(Of course there is a but....I am a conspiracist....) :')
Slow burning, smouldering fires-which makes up almost 95% of reported house fires-Detect smoke 15-18 minutes EARLIER than the radioactive fire alarm....
Also according to studies 'ionising' smoke detectors, outright FAIL 20% of the time anyway......
So I am thinking everyone needs to check it out for themselves....Elimination of these accumulative poisons in our families lives is vital at this point in history...More so than any other...
Interesting Info huh? Let me know what you think!
Steemon!
