Temporary radon ventilation systems and gamma-radiation shielding have been installed and maintained by EPA and the State to reduce indoor exposures. The soil at the site is contaminated with radioactive-waste materials suspected to have originated from radium processing or utilization facilities located nearby during the early 1900s. The Montclair/West Orange Radium site is in the towns of Montclair and West Orange in Essex County, New Jersey.

These investigations had military as well as civilian implications. Equally important, scientific investigation of these dial painters, and of other victims of radium poisoning, led to the establishment of health standards used to protect workers in radioactive environments and to the emergence of human radiobiology as a field of study. The survivors subsequent efforts to seek redress, in alliance with the Consumer's League, played a major role in the establishment of legislative protection for workers against industrial diseases. The dead woman, and others who survived, became known as the first known victims of industrial radium poisoning. There were no publicly recognized health or safety problems identified or standards established for handling radioactive materials at this time. Beginning in 1920j, radium dial painters at the plant began reporting health problems later associated with radium exposure and many died over the next decade.

Radium Corporation site, including the surviving structural components dating to the period 1917-1926, were associated with nationally significant developments in health and safety standards, the ability of women reformers to secure protection for workers handling radioactive materials, and tools used to detect and measure radio-isotopes.
