Working with radioactive substances eventually led to which scientist and acirc and 128 and 153s death?
Marie Curie, the renowned physicist and chemist, worked extensively with radioactive substances, especially radium and polonium. Her long-term exposure to radiation, coupled with the lack of knowledge about its dangers at the time, contributed to her death from aplastic anemia in 1934.
Why is Marie Curie be remembered?
She is only important historically - as all scientists are after they have made their last contributions to science. And to go a little bit further Marie's fame is largely due to her personality. She was the one that had the flare for publicity while her rather shy husband Pierre was the true scientist. (Marie shares all her noble prizes with him.)
Which female inventor spent a lifetime studying radioactivity?
Polish physicist Marie Curie, discoverer of both radium and polonium, spent much of her adult life studying the radioactive elements and the x-rays they emitted. Not only was radiation the bulk of her life's work, it was the cause of her demise as well: Curie died of Leukemia caused by repeated, unprotected exposure to radiation in 1934.
Where can one purchase radium?
Buy a bunch of old clocks and watches that have luminous numbers and the pointers that glow also. That is radium. Some of it was painted on by hand. In order to keep their paint brush sharp the worker would put it in their mouth and pull it out. Sucking on radium has bad health effects. The buildings where this was done are still very contaminated and the painters died of radium poisoning. Not sure if you can legally own it. Transporting it may be a crime. Possessing it is very dangerous and not recommended at all. Madam Currie, who discovered it, died from it. All isotopes should be kept in a secure and shielded place. Handling it only when necessary and with full protection from it.
How did Marie Curie improve the world of science?
She found out many things in science like, she found out two new elements in the periodic table. She soon became famous and scientists all over the world came to visit her.
