warningsign-1.jpgInteresting informations complied by "404 Brain Not Found" regarding the most radioactive story of 2006.

The polonium-210 discovered by Marie Curie in 1898 came back to newpapers frontpage  and to the cocktail list of one of London's famous hotel leading to the death of a former soviet spy who died after having ingested a very small quantity of it.

On "Los Angeles Time" article we discover that : 

  • polonium-210 is deadly and undetectable until it's too late.
  • a grain of salt quantity is enough to kill someone
  • a gram of it may kill up to 50 million people and sicken another 50 million.
  • it's a least a million time more toxic than Zyklon Bvodkamartini.jpg
  • 100 grams are produced every year, mainly by Russia

Such tragic event definitively send James Bond and his friends back to school's benches… and bad luck for us, this time it is not a fiction.
