| Marie received Nobel Prize with her husband, Pierre. Their daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 shared with her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie. The second daughter, Ève Curie, was the only family member who didn't become a scientist and didn't win Nobel Prize, but her husband, Henry Richardson Labouisse, received Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 on behalf of UNICEF. Ève often joked: "There were five Nobel Prizes in my family, two for my mother, one for my father, one for sister and brother-in-law, and one for my husband. Only I was not successful".

| Damaging effects of ionizing radiation were not known at the time, so there were no safety measures known. Marie Curie's papers from the 1890s, even her cookbooks, are still considered too dangerous to handle and will be for 1,500 years. She was also exposed to the first unshielded X-rays machines during First World War when she served as a radiologist in field hospitals. She died in 1934 for aplastic anemia, the result of years of exposure to radiation through her work in labs and hospitals. Also, her daughter Irène Curie died in 1956 from acute leukemia, linked to her exposure to polonium and X-rays.
