    When radium was first discovered, its luminous green color inspired people to add it into beauty products and jewelry. It wasn’t until much later that we realized that radium’s harmful effects outweighed its visual benefits. Unfortunately, radium isn’t the only pigment that historically seemed harmless or useful but turned out to be deadly. J. V. Maranto details history’s deadliest colors.
    Lesson by J. V. Maranto, animation by Juan M. Urbina.

    4:37 Uranium Fiestaware is perfectly fine to put on a shelf, as you said, but you can also handle it or take it to a show-and-tell, as long as the paint has not chipped, because chipped paint can lead to radioactive dust being able to spread. There was actually a story of a kid who took an orange fiestaware to his school, and they shut the school down for the day. The plate was not chipped, so a bit of an overreaction if I do say so myself. Just please, please, please don't eat on it.

    I find it strange that the negative health benefits of modern synthetic dyes (still in use) are not mentioned. Think of the brilliant white that is titaniumdioxide, which can be found in most toothpastes nowadays. Recently, it was removed from M&Ms in Europe due to health concerns (it also runs under the cryptic name of CL59506 or something to that effect, I cannot remember the number perfectly.) It is probably harmful due to the nano particles. Or think of azo-dyes (Azofarbstoffe in German). If you buy the bright red-orange salmon-imitation, it literally says on the package: « Azo-dyes can cause attention-deficits in kids ». Not much pruning out today after all, in favor of business over peoples health. That they include this quasi-ideological sentence in the end leaves me very perplexed. Why not mention modern risks, which people in the future will laugh about: « How could they possibly ingest that? Were they really not aware? »

    This was a very good video, and I would just like to point out, when we talk about Radium and it's color and death relations, please remember the Radium Girls, they died because a corporation kept this knowledge from them

      Might be wooooshed, but they were talking about poisonous PAINT colors. I’m not very sure if mercury is used in paint.

      @@felizejulienne4413 Mercury was put into hats in the 1800s tho. Mercury poisoning caused dementia which is why hatmakers would usually get dementia caused by Mercury poisoning from overexposure and that's where the "Mad Hatter's Syndrome" came from.

    I've always been fascinated by radioactivity etc. and I wonder if it's a coincidence that neon green and orange has always been my favorite colors haha
