Gents be carful with playing around with the meter, Radon paint may have been used which is Alpha emitting, Which is shielded by glass, plastic or even paper. You do not want to ingest alpha as it is harmful inside the body, your outer layer of your skin shields it too. as long as the painted dial is intact and the paints not coming off it will be ok. A quick removal of the deteriorated plastic does not constitute a hazard in my opinion. I have another four of these units available if your wireless mates need any.
