"This is complete nonsense!" Replied Putin,
"I have never considered anyone an opponent!"

Fun fact. Polonium is actually used in industrial anti dust devices. The reason is, that the radioactivity ionizes a part of the devices wich attracts the dust, thereby removing it from the process. Another use of radioactive materials is Americium in fire alarms.
Very interesting! Sounds like another thing I'll study today :D
Fun fact #1 about your fun fact: There's a tiny button approximately 5/16" which holds a tinier piece of metal foil plated with Americium 241...the element that actually "smells" the smoke.
Fun fact #2 about your fun fact: It is in fact illegal to remove said button from smoke detectors. Why?? (See FF #3)*. It's also illegal to dispose of smoke detectors in the trash. They are radioactive due to the Am-241-therefore a hazardous material.
Fun fact #3 about your fun fact: A teen Boy Scout named David Hahn wanted an Atomic Energy badge for Scouts , so he built his own nuclear reactor in his own back yard using Am-241 buttons from smoke detectors and gas lanterns (old lantern mantles contain Thorium-another radioactive element). His story was published into a book titled "The Radioactive Boy Scout".
*The removal of the buttons are obviously illegal to prevent anything like this from happening again.
Fun fact #4 about your fun fact: Americium-241 is the only man-made radioactive element that can be readily purchased at any hardware store.
Let's just say, "DO NOT spread either on your toast."
I read in a book about radioactive materials that polonium is an extremely difficult element to produce.
@@bigverybadtom United States Nuclear Regulary Commision: "Polonium-210 is a radioactive isotope that occurs in small amounts in nature and can be made in a nuclear reactor. It has limited uses, mainly in static eliminators. In recent years, polonium made the news because of its use as a poison. Polonium was blamed for the Nov. 23, 2006, death in London of the Russian Alexander Litvinenko. It has also been mentioned as a possible cause of Yassar Arafat's death.
Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie in 1898; she later named it for her homeland of Poland. Though rare, it is found in tobacco, and in the soil and air. For industrial purposes, it is produced in milligram amounts in nuclear reactors. Only about 100 grams (a little more than 3 ounces) is believed to be produced worldwide each year. Licensed distributors import a very small amount of polonium-210 into the U.S. each year." It is a good description, and interesting, that such a little ammount is produced.
And there is also a CZcams video, where a polonium source is used to demonstrate Alpha radiation.
Makes me wonder what would happen if they made a bomb out of Polonium and then Tested it in the same place the Atom bombs were Tested during ww2
Donât spoil the video

PSA: Please please PLEASE do NOT use poisons for rodent control, particularly not in residential areas. Poisoned living or dead pests get eaten by predators, who subsequently get poisoned themselves. This kills people's pets. This kills endangered birds of prey. Don't use rodent poisons if you're mitigating rodents that can be accessed by predators of any kind.
Yes I wouldn't want any of my chickens to accidentally eat rat poison!
This is true and has a cascading 2ffect
Good point! I usually use traps or cats
This is true; it has become a HUGE problem.
One of the reasons I dislike rat poison, I just use my air rifle for killing rats.
P.s if your going to use rat, mice, or glue traps then use them in a room with bait and close the door, maybe even put a warning on the door. rat traps can break small animals paws and legs.
I got food poisoning from bad hotdogs that ended up being botulinum toxin. I was in the hospital for almost 4 weeks was semi paralyzed but luckily made it out with no long term ill effects. I was told by DR's that if treated early with anti-toxin the chances of living are 90% or better..

You can actually buy brushes meant for taking the static off of music records that have a very tiny amount of Polonium in them. The alpha radiation from the Polonium sort of neutralizes the static and makes it to where you can clean them easier. Firestone also used to put Polonium in spark plugs back in the early 1940's. I have a collection of those, but with a half life of less than a year, you can even detect any radiation from them anymore. Your older smoke detectors also have Americium in them as the detection source.
I remember the old Dustmaster record brushes from the early 70's. They were junk, just like the old DiscWasher brushes that claimed to reduce static charges on vinyl through humidity control.
I'm kinda confused by the use of a radioactive substance as number 1. Radioactivity is weird and the deadliness of it is a balance between intensity and duration. Shorter halflives being dangerous because they output a LOT of energy VERY quickly, but they also transmute to other things very quickly and so don't stick around. If the daughter elements are less radioactive, they don't get long to do their thing. Longer half-lives aren't quite as violently radioactive, but they stick around much longer and can continue to do damage for a long time.
Meaning that Polonium (Which isotope? 210 I assume, but Polonium has 42 isotopes and all have different half-lives) is certainly deadly but this opens the list up to countless other elements. Polonium 210 definitely is in that range where it emits absurd amounts of radiation while also sticking around for quite a while, but there are other isotopes and even other elements that decay faster and thus produce more radiation in certain time scales. This is why we have an amusing number of units involved in describing the level of radioactivity a certain thing has!
If the last was going to be element, I figure Osmium should have been included. It actively reacts with air to create osmium tetroxide which is more deadly than hydrogen cyanide.
But is Osmium considered a metal of value with the likes of Gold, Silver, and Platinum?
I have to work with osmium tetroxide for my job đ
@@nicktokar2459 what do you do?

@@Claro1993 It is, but definitely a lot cheaper than polonium. Also, it is a lot less restricted.
Wikipedia says the median lethal dose (killing half of the affected persons) of polonium for humans is about 0.1 microgram or 1 x 10e-7 g. Seven trillionths of a gram is 7 x 10e-12. So the dose quoted in the video is off by over four orders of magnitude. This is a truly staggering error.

A little known fact is that there is polonium (and lead-210 with decays to bismuth which decay to polonium) in tobacco, causing smokers to inhale small radioactive traces that emit alpha radiation in the lungs. This is the main cause for lung cancer.
So, sadly, there are actually a lot of people that get exposed to polonium on a daily basis.
It should also be noted that this isn't naturally in tobacco, but a result of phosphate fertilizers.
Click bait.
And you fell for it đ
No not really.
tetrodotoxin is one of the ingredients used in the zombie powder used in Haiti to make, well, zombies. Imagine appearing dead, but being awake and able to see and hear everything... being put in a coffin, buried... and all the other fun things that happens in zombification.... don't sound like much fun to me.
You forgot to mention that cyanide poisoning is pretty fast you would have to right next to the antidote to stay alive
Strychnine is interesting because it has been used by serial killers a lot in the 19th-20th century
Arsenic too
most familial poisonings are done with arsenic....it's much easier to get ahold of .
Thanks, I'm glad I found this channel, subbed.
So having some Polonium in your pocket is like being able to say "Hey guys look at this Chernobyl i found in a vial!!"
We are taught in first aid classes here in Australia that all you have to do to save someone from tetrodotoxin is administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation/chest compressions) to keep their blood flowing and EAR (expired air resucitation/mouth to mouth) to keep their blood oxygenated until the poison has sufficient time to be neutralised by the body. Because it affects muscles the person can't breathe and their heart doesn't beat so the moment you stop EAR and CPR they die. There are stories of people who ended up saving their friends lives after they'd stepped on Stone fish which also have tetrodotoxin. The person who stepped on the stone fish later said they were completely conscious the whole time and could hear and see what was going on and just thankful their friends didn't give up the fight and kept up the CPR and EAR for HOURS until help arrived.
It is unfortunate #10 is used so often. Because of how long this and other poisons of this type last, animals that eat rodents suffer the same painful death. So critters like owls get wiped out by it.

The order of this list is way off, considering Tetrodotoxin TTX is about a 1000 times more potent than Cyanide when it comes to LD50. Yes, Polonium-210 is one of the most toxic substance in the world, although it still does not beat Botulinum toxin, but they are comparable in their dosages; COMPLETELY different in action.
The most confusing thing I found is that the video comparing toxins with radiation. One kills you quickly, one kills you slowly.

It doesn't make the blood clot, it does the opposite, it's an anti-coagulant. It's actually also a drug which is commonly prescribed by the name Warfarin. It is used to manage conditions such as atrial fibrillation. It is a drug which is being phased out slowly by more modern DOACS, but it is still odd to think that the drug which likely millions of humans worldwide still take daily was originally created as a rat poison.
