　　Radioactivity is dangerous. It may cause skin burns; it may destroy good tissues (组织) and it may cause illness that could be passed on to our children and grandchildren, In case of exposure (暴露) it may even cause death.

　　In the early days of radioactivity, scientists did not realize these dangers, Marie and Pierre Curie, after having worked for a while with radioactive materials, noticed that their fingers were reddened and swollen (红肿) and the skin was peeling off. Henry Becquered carried a small tube with radium in it in his waistcoat pocket, and was surprised to find a burn on his chest. Other early workers also reported burns and harm of different kinds.

　　The strange fact that it can harm without causing pain is the warning signal we expect from harmfulness. Pain makes up pull back our hands from a fire or a hot object, but a person carrying radioactive materials had no way of telling whether he is touching something too “hot” for safety. Besides, the “burns” or other harmfulness that radioactivity produces may not appear for weeks. A person may have been hurt without knowing it for some time .
