Nuclear Infection

Object 3:
"Nuclear Infection"

I. Description
Object 3, more commonly known as "Nuclear Infection", is a highly toxic, corrosive substance found throughout certain levels within the Backrooms. The object resembles a green liquid that emits a green smog which can cause many complications if inhaled.
The object is located throughout various levels, most notably Level -6 - it primarily exists within the ponds, oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water. It can also be found throughout other various levels - most notably Level 22. Attempts to store Nuclear Infection via a jar or container is infeasible, as the substance dissolves a vast majority of materials.
The most defining property of Nuclear Infection is that it is capable of "infecting" other levels. When the substance is introduced to a level, it rapidly expands and begins to decay the structure of the level itself, turning the entire space into a warped, infected mass. Without anything to obstruct it, the infection will slowly seep all throughout a level - this will eventually turn it into one of many infected spaces.
The most extreme case of such infection is Level -6 - it is believed to be the source of the substance, giving it undisputed access to other locales. Other infected levels include Level 22 and Level 64, presumably affected via Polluted Nature itself.
Nuclear infection is seen to affect entities and other objects as well. On contact with Almond Water or Cashew Water, both substances instantly transform into Nuclear Infection - presumably how Level -6's massive oceans of Nuclear Infection was formed. Entities can also be infected, turning them into warped, more powerful variants as seen on Level -6.
Various properties may also limit the spread of Nuclear Infection. The most notable one being the properties of The Thing on Level 7, which seems to "protect" the entire ocean altogether via inexplainable means. Levels not having a direct entrance to any infected levels cannot be infected, unless if the substance is manually moved to another level.
II. Documentation
"The Cursed Green"
----
As I walked throughout the ruins of the car park, I noticed something peculiar. It was some strange green substance I had never seen. The liquid was dissolving other substances mysteriously. It took me about 5 seconds to notice I was standing next to a puddle of this stuff. It began to dissolve the floor next to me, and I realized I had to get out of there. As it slowly ripped apart the structure of this level, I went through a door and exited this stupid level for good.

III. Usage and Location
Unlike various other objects, Nuclear Infection does not have a positive use whatsoever. It dissolves foreign substances (except for their natural containers, such as landscapes) on touch, including entities and wanderers. Exposure to the fumes provides various complication, the worst of which being organ failure and rapid development of cancer and other diseases.
It is located on various levels, the most prominent of which being Level 22 and Level -6. A less notable, yet prominent example is Level 64 - yet Level 161 is infected as well.
It is rumored that a mysterious entity known as "The Nucleigo" is the main cause of these infections. Currently residing in Level -6 - though likely being native to Level 97 it is presumably the main reason why Nuclear Infection spreads as a whole, being the primary source of Nuclear Infection itself.
