I think the media and public use radiation and radioactive (radiation emitting) particles interchangeably.

Or maybe they actually think that once something is exposed to radiation it become radioactive.

Im more concerned by this quote:

"Sitting in a car that has even the smallest amounts of uranium molded into the plastic, or the seats, or the dashboard everyday for years can lead to cancer. Radiation is deadly. Even in the smallest amounts. You obviously don't know much about radiation exposure. You don't get an x-ray everyday. And radiation from uranium and other radioactive elements is completely different than that from x-ray radiation or microwaves."
