Asbestos, Lead, Mercury, and Radium were (and in some cases still are) commonly used materials. They have properties that make them super useful for various tasks, like heat-resistant insulation or self-luminescence. However, they've all been found to cause death in various ways.

I don't know, and I don't seek to answer such a heavy topic in this talk, but come find out about things that we now know to be harmful!
