 note = {We demonstrated that radiation can be
detected by its effect on common plastics. This
result led us to develop a cheap teaching resource
for radiation education based on the familiar plastic
drink bottle. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET),
which is the main component of plastic bottles,
emits ultraviolet light (380 nm wavelength) when
exposed to radiation . We used this characteristic
of the plastic to design an easy experimental setup
(shown in figure 1) to sense radiation by using
material from plastic bottles as scintillators.},
