My lab has a few radioactivity labels about, but we don't use any radioactive materials. There is one room on our floor that has a chamber.

I ought to do a sweep of our floor with a Geiger counter, just for the heck of it.

Yeah, I am going to do that.

A few days later one man broke open the iridium window, which allowed him to see the caesium chloride emitting a deep blue light. Oh God no.

Yeah. The part where they discovered it glowing sent a chill down my spine. Nightmarish.
