Polonio y Litvinenko

Este es el Staticmaster producido a principios de los años 50 por Nuclear Products Company, de El Monte, California.
Su certificado de garantía dice que “protection for the possibilities of poisoning by ingestion or ihnalation of the radioactive material is provided in the following maner: 1. The radioactive polonium is made into foil and is self protected by being sealed betweeen a silver base and a gold covering. 2. The foil is protected by a stainless steel shield and grid which prevents direct physical contact”.
Ahora que se sabe que Alexander Litvinenko fue envenenado con polonio, quizás usted quiera saber qué es esa sustancia. Más información sobre el polonio, aquí.
El Staticmaster se anunciaba como “a modern tool for neutralizing static electricity and removing static attracted dust and lint”. Mi abuelo, Luis, lo usaba cuando editaba películas.
