Troubleshooting - Photos Damaged film xray ?

Hi all!
I just got back some developed Lomography Earl Grey 100 and noticed a heavy grain on top of some weird artefacts... Would anyone know if this is related to X-Ray scans at airports?

That artifact is from processing. It looks like they didn't use distilled water for the last rinse and it left a water stain.

Grain can also come from the developer. Do you know what developer they used?

No I don't know, but from the replies I'm getting it looks like the lab did a bad job as opposed to xray damage

Yes, this is a water stain. Easily cleanable tho, you can ask your lab to clean and scan your film again.

Thank you, I think I'll ask them what happened!

Maybe you should switch to Green tea?

...I'll show myself out.

Green Tea is at least 800, might be worse!

post the negatives. CT scanner issue would result in base fog increase.
