For once we can’t blame Brexit! There is a world shortage of Helium, the shortage of Helium is a natural phenomenon. Helium forms below the earth’s surface, formed from the slow radioactive alpha decay that occurs in rocks. Helium is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas and is the first of the noble gas group on the periodic table of the elements. After Hydrogen, Helium has the second lowest atomic number # 2, it has the lowest boiling point of all the elements....
