- Periodic Table Makeover
"Atomic weights of 10 elements to be altered" The adjustments planned for the Periodic Table of the Elements will more accurately reflect the nature of 10 types of atoms, including carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. by Thomas H. Maugh II December 14th, 2010...

Now one has to wonder about this issue of significant human fatalities attributed to radon as compared to other carcinogenic villains. The Environmental Protection Agency claims there are 20,000 deaths each year due to radon exposure--a broader range...
