Hazards and Risks

Hazards and risks associated with curium: curium does not occur naturally in the biosphere and so normally never presents a risk. Curium is studied in a few nuclear research laboratories where its high radioactivity require special handling techniques and precautions. Apparently, curium tends to accumulate in bone marrow and this is highly dangerous because of its radioactivity which destroys red blood cells.
