Australian health officials said the silver capsule contains the radioactive substance caesium 137, which could cause radiation burns or illness if touched. The 8mm (0.31in) by 6mm (0.24in) unit is believed to have fallen off the back of a truck between the remote town of Newman and the suburbs of northern Perth.
