In the late 1900s, teenage girls and young women were hired at the United States Radium Company to paint watch dials with glowing paint. Unbeknownst to them, this paint was actually made with a highly dangerous radioactive substance that would cause harrowing pain, cancer, and death. The victims fought a difficult uphill battle for justice because the company tried to cover up their deaths by claiming they died from Syphilis, not radiation poisoning.
ALSO: Ali got an infrared blanket and wonders if it’s dangerous. Melissa used to swim in water next to a nuclear power plant because it was warm.
