    The Destruction Of Radium Girls In The 1920's

    Radium is dangerous because it emits alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are not harmful if they are outside the body because they cannot get though skin (Quigley, 2002). Since these women swallowed the radium however the alpha particles are inside their body, therefore the alpha particles as Ann Quigley said (2002), “release all their energy inside the body, especially affecting blood, the liver and spleen” (para. 20). Also, as David Boettcher states (2006), “if flakes of radium paint are inhaled they can sit in the lungs, where the alpha radiation can hit the delicate (much more delicate than skin) internal tissue of the lungs and cause tumors” (Radium Luminous Paint section, para. 4). As it shows through the past quotes, since the alpha radiation is inside the body it is trapped inside the body, if it can’t get through skin cells in the first place, it can’t get out from skin cells either.…

    The Element Tin

    Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn from the Latin word “stannum.” Its atomic number is 50 and its atomic mass is 118.71. Tin is classified in the 'Other Metals' section which can be located in groups 13, 14, and 15 of the Periodic Table. All of these elements are solid, have a relatively high density and are opaque. This silvery, ductile metal is not easily oxidized in air and resists corrosion. Tin is usually malleable, but when cooled it is very brittle. It is found in many alloys and is used to coat other metals. It can be alloyed with copper to make bronze. Pewter alloys contain about 85% to 99% tin. Tin is obtained from the mineral ore cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide. It is extracted by roasting cassiterite in a furnace with carbon. Tin makes up only about 0.001% of the earth's crust and is chiefly mined in Malaysia and found in Bolivia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Nigeria. Tin was discovered by the ancients nearly 5500 years ago and was mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the earliest metals known and they think it was first mined in South-East England. Because of its hardening effect on copper, tin was used in bronze implements as early as 3,500 BC.…
