Has Anyone Tested Their New Yaris For Radiation?

Do any of you have access to test equipment that could do that?

Interesting how you jump to conclusions.

But that article is right. If Toyota has endangered humanity getting its cars radioactive I WANT A FREE ONE!

Uh by the way countries would be nuts if they didnt test things like food they buy from Japan.

Cars for that matter too.

i use usually different radiation detector. Before buying deifferent tools like geiger detector, you can read some info about this device. Here good source https://ecotestgroup.com/press/blog/...eiger-counter/ which I read before buying geiger counter. A Geiger counter produces a “tick” or click when significant radiation is observed. You can easily get a 15-25 CPM (counts per minute) in your natural surroundings. When a radioactive particle goes through the Geiger- Muller tube, it completes the circuit and produces the sound.
