Search for Life Transfer Task 1 - Poisoned Shopworkers Back in 1920, one of the most sought-after jobs on the East Coast was a dial painter at a watch factory. These workers were all female, and they absolutely loved their jobs. These girls were instructed to paint the number on a watch with paint laced with an element called radium. Years later, many of these workers developed many medical problems with their bones. Some girls lost their jaw bones, and others’ bones broke when they walked across a room. Several doctors thought that phosphorus poisoned the girls’ bones. Their companies insisted that radium was not damaging their bones in order to avoid a lawsuit. Answer the questions below to answer the big questions: Was it the radium or the phosphorus that poisoned the girls’ bones? Were the factories responsible for the girls’ sicknesses?
