Mislead?  What for?  Some region... particular region... any region...
it doesn't really matter.  However, if you want to ascribe more
difference to [some, particular, any] than I usually ascribe, then I
would say any region is more appropriate than particular region.   I
don't know of a region where this can't occur.  It's more likely if the
region is inside a hunk of lead, but it also happens in air, and it also
happens in outer space where we still have at least a hundred (and often
many more) particles per cubic meter.  I would say if someone was
thinking of a region void of particles then they were being more
unphysical than I.
