The hand held Geiger counters are good, I have used them when visiting the former eastern block states when buying fruits in the market to measure the radio active readings prior to purchasing. All depends where they have been grown and what weather fall out they have been exposed too dependant on wind direction and rain etc, the bottom line is radioactivity is every where but you can take measures to reduce your exposure. I read somewhere on a previous forum that pets around the house are more susceptible to exposure as they are smaller creatures and cannot take higher doses that humans can, Anyone got any dogs or cats that sleep next to the instrument panels or have a dial hanging off their collar? Anyhow all food for thought , could be an old wives tale but who can say for sure? Is it legal to sell these instruments on ebay? There must be some clause or exemption somewhere for collectors or traders as these luminous radium dials also appeared on wrist watches, therefore jewellers must be able sell them.
