	ATSDR - ToxFAQs™: Radium
		Radium has been used as a radiation source for treating cancer, in radiography of metals, and combined with other metals as a neutron source for research and radiation instrument calibration.
		Radium is present at very low levels in rocks and soil and may strongly attach to those materials.
		Exposure to high levels of radium results in an increased incidence of bone, liver, and breast cancer.

	Radium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radium preparations are remarkable for maintaining themselves at a higher temperature than their surroundings, and for their radiations, which are of three kinds: alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
		Radium (usually in the form of radium chloride) is used in medicine to produce radon gas which in turn is used as a cancer treatment.
		Radium was originally acquired from pitchblende ore from Joachimsthal, Bohemia (7 metric tons of pitchblende yields 1 gram of radium).

		Radium was discovered in 1898 by Pierre and Marie Curie in pitchblende given them by Austria after the uranium salts had been removed for use in glass manufacture.
		Metallic radium was isolated by electrolysis in 1910 by Marie Curie and André Debierne; they first formed a mercury-radium amalgam by electrolysis and then removed the mercury by distillation.

	Radium in Drinking Water Fact Sheet
		Radium (Ra) is a naturally occurring radioactive element that is present in varying amounts in rocks and soil within the earth's crust.
		In Illinois, high radium levels occur primarily in the northern third of the state due to the presence of radium in the granite bedrock that surround aquifers from which water supplies are drawn.
		Radium is not known to cause adverse health effects at levels generally encountered in drinking water, diet, or the environment.

	Radium in Drinking Water
		The highest radium levels in water are found in water drawn from two rock formations; the deep sandstone of the state's eastern quarter and the crystalline granite rock of north-central Wisconsin.
		In Wisconsin, most of the community water supplies which exceed the radium standard draw water from a deep sandstone aquifer and are located in a narrow band which stretches from Green Bay to the Illinois state line.
		The doses ingested by the radium watch-dial painters and laboratory animals were many times greater than the radium levels in any of Wisconsin's water systems, and as expected, the associated risk from radium levels commonly found in drinking water is proportionately far lower.
