21. 20 Thorium alpha radiation tracks are highlighted by rings.
First column: the four samples of Thorium without ultrasounds.
Second and third columns: the eight samples of Thorium with ultrasounds.
The ratio of tracks shows that the alpha radiation is halved after 90 minutes of ultrasounds.
Moreover in the ultrasounds samples there is no increase of other types of radiation.
