I first heard about the Radium Girl from someone I knew and she said "The Radium Girls would like toxic paint brush to make the Paint brush thinner and there skin will glow and they died after." I first heard about the Radium Girls yesterday.
The radium gorls were the female factory work in the 1910s to 1920s. They suffered server Radium posioning. They had bone tumors jaw necrosis death from painting glowing watch dials with radium laced paint.
The ladies where ingested the radioactive substance by lip pointing their paintbrushes to a thin tip andthe people that worked with them initially covered up the dangers.
The Radium Girls' courageous lawsuits against the United States Radium Corporation led to significant advancements in workers' compensation, occupational health and safety regulations, and public awareness of the dangers of radioactive materials
This video explains the story of the Radium Girls, including how they got sick and how their story led to changes in labor laws
