Radium has been shown to cause effects on the blood (anemia) and eyes (cataracts), according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
It also has been shown to affect the teeth, causing an increase in broken teeth and cavities.
Additionally, patients who were injected with radium in Germany, from 1946 to 1950, for the treatment of certain diseases including tuberculosis were significantly shorter as adults than people who were not treated.
