Red triangle with skull and crossbones is for danger ­ new UN radiation
symbol

15 February 2007 ­ A skull and crossbones, a running person and radiating
ionizing waves, all on a deep red triangle, joined other more common warning
symbols today as part of a United Nations effort to reduce needless deaths
and serious injuries from accidental exposure to large radioactive sources
such as food irradiation and cancer therapy equipment.
