Radium girls were told that the paint was safe and would give them a beautiful glow. But soon the young women started suffering pain, shattered bones and teeth, and sarcomas. The 1928 lawsuit against RLMC uncovered evidence that the company knew the dangers of radium--and never told the girls. 521 0 $a 8.1. 521 2 $a 9-Adult. 521 8 $a 980 $b Lexile. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 7 $a Watch dial painters. $2 sears 650 7 $a Radium $x Toxicology. $2 sears 650 7 $a Cooperative societies $x History $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Environmental health $x History $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Women $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x War work $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Electronic books. $2 sears 856 40 $u http://www.mackinvia.com/6009223 $y Click here to open $5 Destiny(102) 526 $a Accelerated Reader AR $b UG $c 8.1 $d 21.0 $z 196201. $5 HDHS 526 $a Reading Counts RC $c 8.3 $d 27.0 $z 70950. $5 HDHS 941 $a 1 952 $l 0YSX353 $d 20220315011357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6A13518412A11ECA0CE13B35DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
