What was the cultural/societal/scientific impact on Marie Curie's discovery of Radium and/or Polonium?

Question

And what experimental process did she go through?

Answer 1

She ended up dying from cancer I think , so did all her family. I was watching QI and I think they made novelty things out of it to sell to people, I think it made things glow in the dark and all the people back then loved it. So probably quite a few people died because of that.
