The Radium Girls: An Illinois Tragedy

4. "The outcome was rather horrific."

I can imagine how horrific her demise was, considering it was pure radium they were handling and painting their faces up with. The agony physically that these young ladies went through ... Yeah 😪

I remember seeing an update about this whole situation about 10 or so years ago, and a guy dressed in a protective suit went to the huge fiend where the clock company once stood with a radium detector, and the levels of radium STILL remaining on the spot where the clock company stood were STILL off the charts. Even in the surrounding areas of streets surrounding the land was still filled with lower-levels of radium. 6 decades later there's probably still radium on the spot and surrounding areas where that clock company of DEATH and DECEPTION stood.
