The curie (symbol Ci) is a non-SI unit of radioactivity originally defined in 1910. According to a notice in Nature at the time, it was to be named in honour of Pierre Curie , [ 1 ] but was considered at least by some to be in honour of Marie Curie as well, [ 2 ] and is in later literature considered to be named for both.

A milligram (5 curies) of 210 Po emits about as many alpha particles per second as 5 grams of 226 Ra, [6] which means it is 5,000 times more radioactive than radium. A few curies (1 curie equals 37 gigabecquerels, 1 Ci = 37 GBq) of 210 Po emit a blue glow which is caused by ionisation of the surrounding air.

We know this from the Life Span Study, which followed survivors of the atomic bombing in Japan during World War 2. [5] [4] Over 100,000 individuals were followed for 50 years. [5] 1 in 10 of the cancers that formed during this time was due to radiation. [6] The study shows a linear dose response for all solid tumors. [6]
