Greetings to all on this journey of learning and discussion.

I am new to this board and what a fascinating and interesting thread this is. I have been reading the earlier material of 2005.

It will take me months to review the postings.

I like to know the history of such threads before jumping right in and posting.

I have many questions for you ST in BG.

**Hmmm !!

It seems like I have met you in Pgh, PA,

**What Is ... Pgh, PA. ??

remember the Sister Sledge, "We are Family" song. Well that was an interesting posting you made back in 2005. I have not reposted it, but it has much indication to me.

**Hmmm !!

The discussions on this thread has been highly entertaining, amusing, interesting and of course have given
me much food for thought. It has raised many questions in my thoughts.

I have a question for now. Radon is poison from the by product of cement and certain rock formations.

**Radon ... Which Is Considered An Odorless/Tasteless Gas ... Is Formed From The Natural Atomic Breakdown ... Of
Limestone/Calcium Carbonate (The Main Ingredient In Concrete/Cement) ... Into Ground Water !! ... It Is Radioactive ... And Attacks The Bones & Connective Tissues ... Causing Breakdown Of These ... Due To They Also Are Composed Of Limestone/Calcium Carbonate !!

What are these rock formations?

**Limestone/Calcium Carbonate !!

Also, many people have built their underground bunkers with cement.

**Should Never Be Used As A Building Material ... Due To It's Normal Atomic Cycle/Breakdown ... Releasing The Radioactive Radon Gas !!

Does this Radon leech into canned goods, plastics, and any other containment method for food and water?

**Radiation Given Off ... Can Contaminate All These Things ... And More !! ... Depending On The Various
Absorption/Penetration Rates ... Of The Materials Involved ... Of Which One Could Be Dealing With Radiation
Contamination Alone ... Or Changes Made ... Due To The Contamination !!

You mentioned ceramics was good to build structures with. Is this the same line of thought with food and water storage?

**Not Of "Ceramics" ... That You Would Be Familiar With !! ... We Are Referring To ... What Is WAY BEYOND ...
Industrial Ceramics !! ... Of Heat Necessary ... That Would Easily Melt Through ... Iron/Steel Containers/Cauldrons ... That Handle Such Materials In Their Molten States !!

I am on a cell phone typing,

please excuse any typos/misspellings. I have such a small screen I am working with.

**If You Wish !! ... Though Such Apologies Are Not Necessary !!

Thank you to all and have a most wonderful day.

You Are Very Welcome !! ... The Great ALL ... Thanks You Too !! ... Hee Hee Hee !!

Farewell For Now !!
