Making up lies to make those worker women seem to have "loose morals" instead of admitting your own mistake is diabolical of those companies. They straight up went for a witch hunt.

Just a reminder that plenty of companies would do the same thing today if given the chance

If you ever think, "big corporations would never do that!" Just remember, they absolutely have and will.

the movie is called "Radium Girls" if anyones wondering. it a good movie but kinda sad

If i remember correctly, their bosses didnt believe it was safe. The people who handled the shipment of the radium all wore a lot of PPE to protect themselves. But the labor was cheap, so.. why tell the watch-painting employees?

That putting the brush in the mouth shouldn't have been done even with any other paint

Remember kids, regulations are written in blood. Money will always be more important than your life to these companies.

I remember reading a book about this, if i remember correctly, the employers were ignoring warnings from scientists that radium was potentially dangerous

its so oddly frustrating knowing people consumed arsenic and radium believing it was safe

Women were on their death beds still trying to fight the companies so that others wouldnāt succumb to the same painful fate. Iāve read a few books about this and itās a real life horror movie, gruesome. ā¤

They weren't just wrong. They knew radium was dangerous and lied to those women.

This was possibly one of the cruelest genocides in the name of greed. Killing them softly and profiting from it.

These women never got the justice they deserved. They were spat on, laughed at, lied to, and forced to suffer. And for what? Because continuing the brutal suffering of others, is easier than admitting blame, and trying to actually do something to helpš¢

The company wasn't "wrong". They knew and they lied. Don't give them the excuse of ignorance, they don't deserve it. It wasn't a tragedy, it was an atrocity. Tragedies just happen, atrocities are committed.

Radium istelf doesn't glow, just like most radioactive materials. The thing that glowed in the paint was zinc sulfide - a phosphor. And it was activated by radium - thru radioluminescence (meaning that ionizing radiation excites electrons in phosphor to a higher power level and they return to default power level by emmiting photons - light).

āThe body confuses it for calciumā is one of the most terrifying things Iāve ever heard

Im from the town the newspaper clip is from and on top of what the company did to these women, they also dumped a large amount of radioactive waste in several spots acrossed town, the last of which just finally finished being cleaned up just a few years ago.

This really opens a door for more questions if they back then used radium so much thinking it was safe not knowing of its radioactivity I wonder if thereās anything that we still use today thatās dangerous as much but we just havenāt figured out

It's crazy that scientists would just find a new element and sell it to the public to put in paint, chocolate, and toothpaste before checking if it was toxic or dangerous in any way. I know they didn't know much about radiation but still.
