Human healthDepleted uraniumUranium metabolismUranium toxicityDepleted uranium (DU) is commonly viewed as a rising contamination, first widely brought into condition under mid nineties under Iraq, at the time of military activity defined "Desert Storm". DU has been conjectured to speak to an unsafe...
“In space, there is particle radiation, which is basically everything on the periodic table, hydrogen all the way up through nickel and uranium, moving near the speed of light,” said NASA Research Physicist Tony Slaba, Ph.D. “NASA doesn’t want to use heavy materials like lead for shi...
A study was conducted of the chemical effects on the human kidney induced by the chronic ingestion of uranium in drinking water. Subjects were divided into two groups: The low-exposure group, whose drinking water was obtained from a municipal water system and contained <1 μg uranium/L, and...

Climate change and human activities have caused the drying of marine environments around the world. An example is the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA which is at a near record low water level. Adverse health effects have been associated with exposure to win
The purpose of animal experiments with transuranium elements is to provide information which can be used to predict the consequences of these alpha emitting elements for human health. However, scientific and technical groups have been hesitant to project from animal experiments to man. Since a human...

Health risks in uranium mining are largely discussed insection 4.1. In the 1950s exposure of miners to radon gas led to a higher incidence of lung cancer. For over 40 years, however, exposure to high levels of radon has not been a feature of uranium or other mines. Today the presence ...
Radioactive heavy metals such as uranium, radium and plutonium pollute the soil in some places, either naturally or because of human activity. Other heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and chromium rise to dangerous concentrations in the soil as a result of mining activities, industria...
Despite the prevalence of DU usage in many applications, limited data exist regarding the toxicological consequences on human health. This review focuses on the chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and toxicological effects of depleted and natural uranium on several systems in the mammalian body. A section on...
