I love that the photo is grainy, as if there's so much radiation in the air that he can't get a clear picture of it.

  butttttt americium-241 from smoke detectors are primarily alpha emitters, so the air, the sludge itself, and the camera lens would shield the camera’s sensors from being noticeably exposed :3
  
  However, an exposed camera sensor and a bit of americium is an interesting way to create a decent random number generator.
I suspect superpowered cancer is the most likely outcome.

  it's mainly to avoid polluting the groundwater, environmental laws are strict and people tend to stick to the rules (and will call the police on you if you don't)

I like the radioactive grain effect on the photos.
