Helium: swollen stars, party balloons and squeaky voices | Dean Burnett :: There are increasing reports of an imminent helium shortage, but why should this be a concern? What is helium used for, apart from balloons? Quite a lot, as it happensHelium supplies are running low. This is cause for concern for some.
