These vintage radium clocks still emit measurable radiation decades later! ☢️

While the gamma radiation may look concerning on a detector, the bigger concern with damaged radium clocks (or any radium-based artifacts) is the radioactive paint itself, especially once it begins turning into dust. That’s why old radium-painted items should always be handled carefully and left sealed whenever possible.

Friendly reminder to stay safe people! 💚
