In Avengers: Endgame, when Captain Rogers and Tony go in 1970 to take the Tesseract and Pym particles, Steve calls Dr. Pym about receiving a package which he tells is glowing. This makes Pym scared and run for it.



Does anyone know what Pym was expecting?

Radioactive stuff, most probably, as it's glowing and gave the workers handling it some kind of illness.



It can be noticed that back in Tales to Astonish #35 (1962), one of the first Ant-Man comics, Pym was tasked to make a gas to render people immune to radioactivity, which probably implies studying of radioactive material first. Possibly Endgame was making a reference to that.



Pym is tasked to develop a radioactivy immunity



Pym has been established in the MCU to be a bit of a "mad genius" at times, tampering with iffy physics (failed Pym particles reduce their targets to goo, remember a certain sheep?). Thus, a (more boring) out-of-universe explanation is most likely to have a funny scene, where Pym and the viewers gradually realise what the package is, as the "unaware" person at the other end of the line still doesn't understand.
