It's not a lot of radium tbh. Not only that, a vast majority of radium decay is stopped by something as simple as a piece of paper. Wouldn't be too worried. A piece of glass/acrylic that watches used to be made with prior to artificial sapphire glass, and the multiple metal pieces of watch movement it used to be a part of would have been enough. The real problem is the hands are now separated from that vessel and are basically concentrated in one area, hence the spike. Just a little education on that, too: some professional series watches from companies like Ball and Marathon have hands that still have radioactive material in them (now they switched to tritium tubes, though).

Bones had holes

My grandparents both moved to England from Ireland and both worked in a factory making watches and speedometers and things like that in the 50s and 60s. The met each other there and returned home to have a family together. They both worked a lot with radium and uranium paint. Sadly both of them would eventually die of cancer decades later. In college I was studying a module on medical physics and in it we were taught about radium watches in it. Our lecturer showed us some pictures of a factory in England manufacturing these things and in each picture I saw a woman who looked like my aunt and a man who looked like my uncle. It was my grandparents.

"And it's extremely radioactive" My dumb ass thinking it was orange juice for a sec:

For those who are unaware; radium was once mixed with paint to make things which would glow in the dark. Such as watch arms and airplane instruments.

Radium within the paint was not actually what caused the paint to glow in the dark - not directly anyway. The paint consisted of the radium based compound with doped zinc sulphide - the radiation from the radium would bombard the zinc sulphide and cause it to fluoresce. Fun fact(s): Many of these old radium watch dials no longer glow anymore, despite still remaining very radioactive. The radiation emitted by the radium actually degrades the zinc sulphide pigment over time - thus losing its ability to glow when exposed to the radiation. Radioactive materials can actually cause a glow on their own if strong enough emitters, they emit a blue glow around them caused by the radiation ionising the surrounding air. Metallic Radium may actually do this(faintly), Technetium metal does this too and Caesium 137 compounds also emit quite a glow. If you were to encounter a strange blue glowing material with no apparent energy source IRL - might be a good idea to get away from that material as fast as possible 😂 Blue glowing alpha emitters might not be so bad provided you are some distance away from the source - but if it emits beta, gamma or even neutron radiation.... *RUN LIKE HELL!!!* ☢️💀 Regardless, I think the average person should run like hell if they were to encounter a strange blue glowing material 😂

Sometimes it is not very important how much time is left for you to live and what really matters is how many enemies you manage to kill while you are still alive. During the time having radium impregnated dials is not only acceptable but is even preferable as the constant light emittion allows for a more precise and convenient timing and the tiny margin may end up being just enough to make a difference between a victory and a defeat in some important battle. Today we have tritium and it gives the same performance while being significantly safer but back then radium was the next best thing.

It’s also kind of scary that people who had to paint those watch hands didn’t even know how dangerous paint with radium is and put brush tips to their mouths for more precision while painting…

The Radium girls were a famous example of workplace hazard reform because so many of them got cancer from licking their paint brushes (per their bosses’ instruction) to paint the watch hands.

“The radium girls” the dubbed name for those who painted those watch heads. (The workers were all women because they had more “delicate and detailed” hands) They were encouraged to keep the brush pointed by putting it between their lips. This of course caused all sorts of health issues including (but not limited to) ‘honeycomb-like’ brittle jaws, lower jaws falling out and of course death. It didn’t at all help at the time that radium tonics were presented as a cure all.

The biggest problem with radium is it decays into radon which is a GAS. So even if you don't touch it at all, you're still getting irradiated simply by breathing.

Wearing the watch hands around was never a problem. The amount of radioactivity that a person would receive is my nude. The problem was the people painting the watch hands to make them glow in the dark with the radioactive material, radium. They would often lick their brushes and then paint so they could get a nice fine point. Ingesting that amount of radium is extremely dangerous. Having a tiny amount on a tiny watch hand is not.
