He noted that many innocuous items could spike the radiation levels in an area, including red-painted disposable eating utensils. ‘I honestly think the end result of this is that it’s just higher levels of background radiation,’ he said. Peterson forwarded the matter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.”
