Did you ever find the whole documentary Radium City from 1987?

Vimeo has it for sale ($1.99) or for rent (99 cents). The filmmakers have it there to view. Years ago, it was on KZbin for free, but not anymore.

Yet people took experimental vaccine that has not been tested properly and are used a trial guinea pig with no right to sue the manufacturer. Sounds familiar ?

Roundup. It's everywhere that is causes cancer

Wrong. There is little wrong with her face and jaw. You haven't seen the movie. Her legs were all but destroyed as a result of radium exposure.

@@ValleyoftheRogue I’ve seen X-rays and the sample of the reconstruction of the jaw. I know that the legs and hips were literally eaten away. What horrible pain

You have seen her x-rays? I doubt it. How did you get them? I have my doubts you have seen them. It was her legs, not her jaw, that were destroyed. You don't want to admit you didn't see Radium City. Almost nobody here saw that film. Her face was relatively undamaged. She was in her eighties, for crying out loud, so of course her face would change as she aged. Marie Rossiter had one of her legs amputated not long before she died, and a steel bar placed in the other one. They weren't "eaten away" but swollen almost beyond recognition.

@@ValleyoftheRogue i was just speaking of the image and the actual replica of the jaw pieces in one of these medical museums, I forget which one.. I did read the book, if I got the person wrong, then sorry. If you went to any kind of medical or nursing school this is part of the studies into OSHA

Keep it for the memory of these women & so their story can remain to be told with the evidence

You want to sell it?

Asbestos, leaded gasoline, DDT, so much crazy nasty stuff back then boy. Really is amazing how so many survived “unscathed”

Pretty sure that saved them from wasting radium which cost the company money. I read the book, they tried using other methods but saw they were losing money and told the girls to go back to putting it in their mouths. Of course, when the lawsuits started coming in, they pretended as if they told the girls not to put the brushes in their mouths and they refused to listen.

I was a kid in the 80s, but I remember my grandparents had some of those little clocks with the glowing dials

Yeah, I was born in the 60's. We had alarm clocks that would glow in the dark. I remember one breaking and I touched all the greenish paint,...it always facinated me as a child.

Hi sir

I am not sure, usually exposure to Radium or any radioactive elements especially in large doses can cause sterilisation and infertility. Then again Marie Sklodowska Curie and Pierre Curie had two children so I am not sure.

It is in the documentary.

Charlotte Nevins- Purcell one of the girls had a baby who was born weighing just 2 1/2 lbs

How little? That pay wasnt considered that "little" back then. The lady even said she went from $5 at the store she worked at all the way up to $17.50 at the factory. It wasnt just that company either. Radium water was a patented medicine a "healing tonic", a real energy drink in the early 1900s & was available for at least a decade or so before it was pulled from the market. We consume small amounts of radium everytime we eat bananas, avocados, broccoli etc. Potassium naturally has a small amount of radioactive element. Same as with some fruits/juices like apples & grapes we injest small amounts of arsenic that occurs naturally in the soil that gets absorbed. And no factory or really any other type of business cares that much about its employees- (especially not when it comes to profits) no matter what type of public image they try to portray. And we're talking the first half of the 20th century. Hell child labor laws werent even enacted until 1938 & this was a entry level job that required no education, specialized training etc. That would have been a dream job for some women in that day & age

Since we know about radioactivity now, i feel like it’s easy to say that, but back then they didn’t know

That ending of your comment is easy said now that you've learned the outcome for those women.

Lol right

Try it go ahead lol you will be missing a jaw buddy

Look into SFX makeup. I'm sure there's glow in the dark crap that won't make you lose your lower jaw lol

UV/black light/ Glow in the dark face paints. Kat Sketch did a make up look inspired by the Radium girls with the glow in the dark paint.

@@donalumani9801 bet

What is the procedure for decontamination?

The one in Connecticut is still standing

@@donalumani9801 they shipped the soil to indiana

I can't believe they remained open all the way into the 70's

i imagine it'd be pretty scary to return to your work after holidays to see it all closed down, with keep out sings that say the territory is highly dangerous to visit. And remember yourself going in there daily in regular clothes.

Well cigarettes don't just contain toxic chemicals. They also contain a radioactive elements. Polonium.

Heroes and I don't mean Marvel

And the triangle shirtwaist fire

Except now company owners are skirting these laws by opening up factories in countries where they don’t exist. The same thing is still being perpetrated by Americans, just largely in other countries.

lol that’s a good one

👏🏼👏🏼
