Not only did the workers not know it was the radium that was making them sick, the company had doctors telling them it definitely wasn’t. It took years for it to all come out, only after several deaths.Idk. Probably not any way of really knowing. I assume it's quite a few, but years down the road. The radium girls got sick pretty quick, if I remember correctly (within a couple years.) Radium jaw is wild. I may need to re-read, but I think they just kept on using radium, even after they were getting sick. I'm not sure if it's because they were addicted or just didnt realize radium was causing it at that point.
