[Phys-l] Spectacular Results or Artifacts?

[Brian Whatcott <betwys1@sbcglobal.net>]

Ludwik,

I see that Richard's results depend critically on the behavior of a 
plastic film.
It is possible to argue that pitting effects are potentiated by the 
presence of
a particular chemical solution carrying ionic currents.
One can demonstrate the attraction of charged radon nuclear byproducts 
on dust to CRT screens using a cold war era survey meter - an experiment 
described in several threads here in prior years - and so it is natural 
to suppose that such a Geiger-Muller arrangement with a counter, would 
provide increased credibility to the linkage implied between pitting and 
nuclear effects here, if it were shown to detect such putative nuclear 
events also.

p.s. One of the numerous materials used to plasticize plastic films is a 
lead compound: dibutyl mallate.
