Discovery of Natural Radioactivity and New Development of the Town of Joachimsthal , Bohemia in the first half of the 20th Century
Těšínská, Emilie
Early research into natural radioactivity, closely connected with the uranium minerals, stimulated new development of the old mining town of Joachimsthal in Bohemia in the first half of the 20th century. Radioactive waste material from the uranium dye production in Joachimsthal served as material for the first radium preparations processed by Pierre and Marie Curie. The high concentration of radon in watter of Joachimsthal mines was measured by Austrian physicists Heinrich Mache and Stephan Meyer in 1904. In 1906, the first private radon spa was organized in Joachimsthal by medical doctor Leopold Gottlieb.
