Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how atmospheric radioactivity behaves in varying global locations. The author's experiments utilized negatively charged wire traps and ionization measuring tools to determine what radioactive particles are present in the atmosphere. The author proves the existence of radium B, and its emanations, which possess a very short range that had yet to be discovered at the time of publication. The author focuses on the variation of these radioactive particles in California and Colorado due to atmospheric conditions such as fog, wind, and temperature. Most strikingly, they note a connection between atmospheric pressure and the amount of thorium excited activity collected, demonstrating that sudden rises in pressure decreased thorium activity. The book concludes with an in-depth analysis and discussion of the significance and implications of these findings, positioning them within the broader scientific understanding of atmospheric physics.
