As if the consumer needs something else to worry about. Now ScrippsNews recently posted an article on how radioactive contamination has made its way into recycled metals across the USA and the world.
Since essentially no one was monitoring finished manufactured goods and consumer products, it is unknown as to the extent of the problem and if significant doses were encountered by the end users.
I can see the requirement coming where scrap yards and recycling facilities must monitor for radioactive sources and contamination.
Personal radiation survey instruments are not cheap if you get the good ones. The Gamma-Scout appears to be a quality unit, but it runs about $500.
Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned about this unless your bed springs or braces are radioactive.
