The specific radioactivity of polonium-210 is 4,5.10E3 Curies.
The process by which materials give off energy from a uranium atom was named radioactivity by Marie Curie in the early 20th century. She discovered that certain elements, like uranium, emit radiation spontaneously.
Marie and Pierre Curie concluded that certain minerals, like pitchblende, contained previously unknown elements that were highly radioactive. They named these elements polonium and radium, and their research laid the foundation for the field of nuclear physics.

Polonium-210 primarily emits alpha radiation, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This type of radiation has a low penetrating power and is highly ionizing, making it hazardous if ingested or inhaled.
Radioactivity.
Marie and Pierre Curie were scientists who in 1898 discovered the elements radium and polonium. They studied radioactivity and for their work they received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.Marie Curie discovered the radioactive element Radium by processing a ton of mineral known as pitchblende. By a long process of crushing and treating wih acids she eventually purified her new element which is highly radioactive. With her husband Pierre they discovered Polonium after their native Poland.
A microwave does not give off electricity.
Rub it off Radioactive polonium brushes available in any photoshop will do this. The alpha particles emitted by the polonium ionize air and the ionized air carries off the static charge. These brushes should be bought new at least every year from a fresh batch at the photoshop due to the short halflife of polonium.
Marie Curie observed that some minerals that contained uranium gave off more radioactivity than pure uranium. Believing that these minerals contained small amounts of other, highly radioactive elements, she began to experiment. Eventually, she discovered the elements which she named radium and polonium.
