Half Lives

The Unlikely History of Radium

Lucy Jane Santos

Before the harmful effects of radioactive substances were fully understood, radium was considered to be a wonder material and was incorporated into a range of commercial products. This study examines how the newly discovered element was used in the first half of the 20th century in luminescent paints, cosmetics, health treatments and even food and drink.
