History’s deadliest colors - J. V. Maranto

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/history-s-d...
When radium was first discovered, its luminous green color inspired people to add it into beauty products and jewelry. It wasn’t until much later that we realized that radium’s harmful effects outweighed its visual benefits. Unfortunately, radium isn’t the only pigment that historically seemed harmless or useful but turned out to be deadly. J. V. Maranto details history’s deadliest colors.
Lesson by J. V. Maranto, animation by Juan M. Urbina.

4:37 Uranium Fiestaware is perfectly fine to put on a shelf, as you said, but you can also handle it or take it to a show-and-tell, as long as the paint has not chipped, because chipped paint can lead to radioactive dust being able to spread. There was actually a story of a kid who took an orange fiestaware to his school, and they shut the school down for the day. The plate was not chipped, so a bit of an overreaction if I do say so myself. Just please, please, please don't eat on it.

I find it strange that the negative health benefits of modern synthetic dyes (still in use) are not mentioned. Think of the brilliant white that is titaniumdioxide, which can be found in most toothpastes nowadays. Recently, it was removed from M&Ms in Europe due to health concerns (it also runs under the cryptic name of CL59506 or something to that effect, I cannot remember the number perfectly.) It is probably harmful due to the nano particles. Or think of azo-dyes (Azofarbstoffe in German). If you buy the bright red-orange salmon-imitation, it literally says on the package: « Azo-dyes can cause attention-deficits in kids ». Not much pruning out today after all, in favor of business over peoples health. That they include this quasi-ideological sentence in the end leaves me very perplexed. Why not mention modern risks, which people in the future will laugh about: « How could they possibly ingest that? Were they really not aware? »

[@dorkenspache8353]

I love this video for mentioning the more notable ones, but also people forget Cinnabar was used as a common red colorant in food dyes but is actually highly toxic, also with Saffron. Also the huge Red and Yellow dye scandals of the early 2000s

[@sd-ft4gl]

The scary thing is that some pigments we use today might actually be deadly but we don't know.

[@nikkiewhite476]

Did you miss the section of the video where they said science is continuing to test and scrutinize dyes and pigments to ensure our safety? All the food dyes that have been removed from the market in the past 20 to 30 years because they did not meet standards is because of that.

[@gastonguz607]

@@nikkiewhite476 yes, even for artistic uses, the majority of toxic and dangerous pigments are discontinued. There are some low toxicity pigments still widely available used in art (cadmium red and yellow, cobalt blue and cobalt violet, nickel azo yellow) but they don't have the level of toxicity of the ones named in this video.

[@moonwalkerangel7008]

@@gastonguz607 Don’t forget Manganese Blue, that is toxic to the environment. Granted it used to be used for swimming pools. (Edited: Oh I don’t mean what we use in artist paint. I am talking about the blue pigment that was used up until the ‘70’s when it was revealed to be bad for the plant life around pools.)

[@gastonguz607]

@@moonwalkerangel7008 I was talking about pigment still used. You still can find the PB33 Manganese Blue in watercolors, but only niche companies produce it with vintage supplies, because the unique properties of that pigment is still desired(sheen and beautiful granulation). Every major producer has discontinued the pigment, and some of them sell a color name "Manganese Blue Hue" which is a similar color, but made with a not toxic pigments (normally Phtalo Blue PB15:3). The point is that the pigment is not produced anymore, because is extremely dangerous for the environment and workers that make it. (I heard rumours that a Scottish local company still produce tiny batchs of the pigment, but I'm not sure)

Another thing I find cool about color in history is purple. It wasn’t toxic but it was made from the shells of a snail (?) that I think actually went extinct or almost did because the purple pigment it made was so in demand. It’s the real “royal purple” that kings went to war for

They would use it in all kinds of foods, yes. They especially used it in candy, because everyone loves brightly colored candy. Especially children. It was also popular to use it to color a blancmange (a gelatin dessert). And they kept using it long after they knew just how dangerous it was.

Fun fact; Not that long ago (when this video was released) we still used a white pigment that only last year (2021) became known as carsinogenic. Even more fun fact (ish) - It was also used in soap, in toothpaste and in chewing gum. Among other things... Titanium Dioxide.
