1. For example, although a curie of any radioactive element disintegrates at the same rate as I gram of natural radium (as found in sea-water) there is no connection between this and the relative toxicity of the element as compared to radium.
2. Before I started wearing my Breast-Arrest my physics career was in a shambles, for my ample balcon kept plopping into my radium, disrupting one experiment after another.
3. Radium is readily absorbed into the body where it concentrates in the bone marrow and gives off very damaging alpha particles.
4. Soon afterwards radium, a considerably more powerful emitter of such rays, was discovered by Pierre and Marie Curie (1867-;1934).
5. "Radon gas, emanating from radium in the soil, is present at high concentrations in soil gases and enters homes though unpaved basements and through wet and porous structural materials," Martell says.
6. One curie is equal to the radioactivity of one gram of radium.
7. This natural gas, formed from uranium and radium, seeps out of the ground - in Cornwall it actually comes through the granite - and can build up to cancer-inducing levels if measures are not taken to deal with it properly.
8. Much work was needed to prepare enough radium to treat patients, but once it was made, it was a more convenient source of radiation than the apparatus, extremely primitive by modern standards, which produced X-rays from electric discharges.
9. Some tumours are indeed radio-sensitive, and some progress was made in therapy with x-rays and also with radium, which could be inserted into a tumour so that its effect was concentrated.
10. The early use of X-rays and radium for the treatment of cancer was very much a matter of trial and error.
11. There is no reason to suppose that either Wilhelm Roentgen (1845-;1923) or Pierre Curie (1859-;1906) had any thought of discovering a treatment for cancer when they first encountered X-rays and radium.
12. In the hands of the American zoologists Jacques Loeb (1859-;1924), T. H. Morgan (1866-;1945), and H.J. Muller (1890-;1967) from the early 1900s onwards, the study of mutations induced by the radiations emitted by radium led to major advances in the science of genetics.
