A gas mantle (also known as gas mantle) is a fabric soaked in metal oxides like thorium and cerium that generates bright light when heated by a flame. It was widely used in gas lamps that illuminated streets in Europe and North America in the late 19th century. The term refers to how it drapes like a cloak over the flame. Gas mantles were also used in portable camping lanterns and pressure lamps. While they produce a solid, brittle structure upon initial heating, concerns about thorium's radioactivity have raised safety issues for manufacturers.
