The second issue of Food Security is now published, and is free online. It documents some of the multiple causes of food insecurity.
Helium can be found in underground deposits in the earth. Helium can also be found in stars and other planets. The helium underground - and extracted from natural-gas - is a by-product of the natural radioactive decay of uranium, though is far too stable to be radioactive itself. It also occurs in very small amounts in the atmosphere.
Helium is not known to be toxic. Characteristics: Helium is a light, odorless, colorless, inert, monatomic gas. It can form diatomic molecules, but only weakly and at temperatures close to absolute zero. Helium has the lowest melting point of any element and its boiling point is close to absolute zero.elium is also made by nuclear fusion of hydrogen in stars like our own. Image: Gnixon. Helium on earth comes from nuclear fission of radioactive elements such as uranium. Here a radioactive nucleus emits a helium nucleus (also known as an alpha particle).
