A local Fox News report features sociologist Lisa Martino-Taylor, who uncovered details of secret Army experiments in St. Louis during the 1950s and 60s. The military reportedly sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide, potentially mixed with radioactive particles, over the Pruitt-Igoe housing complex to measure effects on human lungs. The report links these tests to U.S. Radium, a company previously liable for the deaths of the "Radium Girls" watch dial painters.
