CHEMIST CONTRIBUTION

Andrei
Zheleznyakov
a Soviet scientist, was developing chemical weapons in 1987 when a hood
malfunction exposed him to traces of the nerve agent Novichok 5. He spent
weeks in a coma, months unable to walk, and years suffering failing health before
dying from its effects in 1992/3.
 Marie
Skłodowska
Curie
Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering
research on radioactivity. On 4 July 1934, she died at the Sancellemoz
sanatorium in Passy, Haute-Savoie, from aplastic anaemia believed to have
been contracted from her long-term exposure to radiation, some of which was
from the devices she created.
Sabin Arnold
von Sochocky
invented the first radium-based luminescent paint, but eventually died, in
1928, of aplastic anemia resulting from his exposure to the radioactive
material.
Sir Humphry Davy

&

Michael Faraday
British chemist who had a very bad habit of inhaling and smelling the chemicals that he would
use for his experiments. Due to this habit he suffered from numerous chemical poisonings,
especially when he worked with anesthetic Nitrous Oxide.He was inclined towards making
explosions. Sadly he permanently damaged his eyes during a nitrogen trichloride explosion.

Michael Faraday joined Sir Humphry Davy as an apprentice. Humphry Davy had lost his eye
sight by that time. Faraday and Davy went on making remarkable discoveries in the
electromagnetism. Irony was that Michael Faraday also lost his eyesight in a nitrogen chloride
explosion. In his last few years he severely suffered from chronic chemical poisoning too.
Carl Scheele
Carl Scheele was a very intelligent and extraordinary Pharmaceutical chemist
who made remarkable discoveries. He discovered many chemical elements such
as Oxygen, tungsten, Molybdenum, manganese and chloride. But Scheele had a
habit of taste- testing the chemicals he discovered. Because of this habit he
developed chemical poisoning and died with mercury poisoning.
