<ignore reason=probably not true>There aren't many with the capability.</ignore> Polonium has no stable isotopes and is naturally so rare that the nuclear industry synthesises it from bisimuth using neutron beams in specialist nuclear reactors. <ignore reason=probably not true>Also, apart from triggers for nukes and poisoning dissidents, it has very few uses.</ignore>

But consumer anti-static brushes (http://www.amazon.com/Static-Master-Brush-1-Inch/dp/B0000AE6...), industrial anti-static coatings, industrial coating thickness measurement, and oil well inspection are a few of its uses.

I didn't realise it was used so widely. I just read this about the brushes - http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/photo-news/538049/polon...

I don't understand who/what your markup is meant for? Are you claiming that things you're writing are probably not true and should be ignored? Then why are you writing them? This seems a little too clever.

I put the markup in after it was pointed out I was probably talking bollocks there. I didn't want to delete the wrong info as that would make the comment after make no sense, so I did that instead.
