Learned this:
Helium is mined along with natural gas, using a drill rig to drill wells deep into the earth’s crust. A drill rig must penetrate a layer called the Cap Rock to reach a natural gas reserve. Once located, the natural gas and Helium rise and fill the rig, which are then led through a series of piping systems that transport the natural gas and crude Helium to a refining plant.
Most crude Helium tapped from natural gas reserves is only around 50% pure, so other gases must be separated through a scrubbing process. There is a significant amount of nitrogen in crude Helium, as well as methane gases that must be removed.
and this:
Tampons are the latest victim of the U.S. supply chain shortage. Here's how one small business is keeping them in stock. First it was baby formula, now it's tampons. The summer of 2022 is shaping up to be the season of the great tampon shortage with both cotton and plastic in high demand and low quantity.
