...cause of lung cancer is still unknown, but there is clinical evidence linking cancer with foreign matter in the respiratory system. Cilia are thin hairs that prevent such particles from lodging in the tract.

Then a special instrument will count the argon atoms by means of their radioactivity. Their number will be in direct proportion to the total number of neutrinos emitted...
...cranes removing zigzag barriers from heavily guarded crossing points.
