By far the greater proportion of smoke detectors are the type with the
radioactive part. I understand that you need to get it in you lung to do
much harm. They are taken back by the resellers in Oz. One should not be
burning plastic, so they should not be a risk there. They should not go
in the land fill, they should be returned to the recyclers.

Hello All,
I just found out tonight when our smoke alarm kept beeping after changing
the battery & then taking it down from the ceiling, that it contains a small
part with the old radioactive symbol on it and warnings about it containing
radioactive material, which if needing repair should be sent to the company.
