Did you know that radium was once used not only as a health treatment but also for health management, cosmetic purposes, and even in watch manufacturing to create fluorescent dials?

In 1898, the Curies discovered a substance that emitted light from uranium ore and named it radium.

It was found that radium possessed powerful radioactivity, and it was believed to have potential for cancer treatment in the medical field.

Radium was used not only for treatment but also for health management, cosmetics, and even in watch manufacturing to create fluorescent dials.

Using radium, fluorescent roads were created, and individuals who manually conducted radium painting work suffered from radiation poisoning and health issues.

In 1932, the dangers of radium became known when Evan Byers died after being poisoned by consuming Radithor, a product containing radium.

How confident do you think we can be about the scientific facts we know today?
