United States Radium Corporation (original) (raw)
L’United States Radium Corporation (US Radium) est une entreprise qui avait pignon sur rue entre 1917 et 1926 à Orange, dans le New Jersey, aux États-Unis. Après un premier succès dans le développement d'une peinture radioactive fluorescente, la société fut obligée de fermer à la fin des années 1920 à la suite de maladies graves survenues chez ses salariées et du décès de travailleuses qui avaient ingéré des matières radioactives en humectant avec leurs lèvres les pinceaux qui leur servaient à peindre de fines lignes lumineuses sur les cadrans des montres. On leur avait dit que la peinture était inoffensive. Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, la compagnie avait vendu beaucoup de ses montres à l’US Army pour ses soldats.

| dbo:abstract | La United States Radium Corporation fue una empresa, especialmente activa entre los años 1917 a 1926 en Orange, Nueva Jersey, en los Estados Unidos debido a la cual se promulgaron mejoras en las leyes de protección de los trabajadores. Luego de tener un éxito inicial en el desarrollo de una pintura radioactiva que brillaba en la oscuridad, la empresa fue motivo de varias demandas judiciales a finales de la década de 1920 relacionadas con enfermedades y muerte de trabajadores (las chicas del radio) que habían ingerido material radioactivo. Se les había indicado a los trabajadores que la pintura era inocua. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la empresa produjo relojes e indicadores luminosos para el Ejército de los Estados Unidos. U.S. Radium produjo una severa contaminación radioactiva de sus trabajadores, especialmente mujeres que pintaban las caras de los relojes y otros instrumentos con pintura luminosa. La empresa también estuvo relacionada con experimentos secretos del Ejército de Estados Unidos durante la Guerra Fría relacionados con la dispersión de partículas radioactivas de desde aviones y atomizadores químicos en St. Louis y otras ciudades durante las décadas de 1950 y 1960.

(fr) The United States Radium Corporation was a company, most notorious for its operations between the years 1917 to 1926 in Orange, New Jersey, in the United States that led to stronger worker protection laws. After initial success in developing a glow-in-the-dark radioactive paint, the company was subject to several lawsuits in the late 1920s in the wake of severe illnesses and deaths of workers (the Radium Girls) who had ingested radioactive material. The workers had been told that the paint was harmless. During World War I and World War II, the company produced luminous watches and gauges for the United States Army for use by soldiers. U.S. Radium workers, especially women who painted the dials of watches and other instruments with luminous paint, suffered serious radioactive contamination. Lawyer Edward Markley was in charge of defending the company in these cases.

Durante a 1ª e 2ª Guerras Mundiais, a companhia produziu relógios e indicadores luminosos para o Exército dos Estados Unidos, para uso por soldados.
