Helium has many important uses in modern society. It is used as a lifting gas in balloons and airships, as a pressurizing and purge gas in various industrial and medical applications, and as a protective gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes. It is also used in cryogenics to cool materials to very low temperatures, and in MRI scanners to provide a stable and safe working environment for the machine's powerful magnets. The demand for helium has been increasing in recent years due to its many uses in modern technology and industry. However, helium is a finite resource and is primarily obtained as a byproduct of natural gas extraction. As a result, the supply of helium can be influenced by factors such as the production of natural gas and the efficiency of helium extraction and purification processes.
