Is radium spring dangerous because of radium?
Yes. Radium is a radioactive element that is found in small amounts in uranium ores. Radium, like all other radioactive materials, is dangerous if handled improperly. It was most famously used in luminescent paints. There was a lawsuit filed against their employers by five dying women who, uneducated about the dangers of radioactive Radium, were hired to use the paints to make the faces of glow-in-the-dark watch faces for the military. The radium in the paint seeped through their skin into their bodie and they suffered from bone cancer and anemia. Radium, once in the body, is treated as calcium and transfered to the bones where its radioactivity degrades the marrow, reducing blood production and possibly mutating bone cells.
Do radium and radius have the same meaning?
Radium and radius do not mean the same thing. Radium is an element in group 2. It is radioactive and was discovered by the Curies. Radius is either the distance from the centre of a circle to its circumference, or a bone in the forearm.
Is Radium a main metal in the human body?
No, radium is very radioactive (emitting alpha, beta, AND gamma) and acts chemically as if it was calcium. This causes any radium that enters the body to become incorporated into the bones, where its intense radiation kills the cells that make bone (causing the bones to weaken and eventually crumble) and the blood producing cells in the marrow (causing anemia and weakening the immune system allowing severe infections to develop).
What originates in bone marrow?
Bone marrow produce red and white blood cells.
What does the acid appear to remove from the bone?
Acid appears to remove calcium from bone.
What is the innermost part of the bone where blood vessels are manufactured?

What blood is made in the bone?
