RJA #8 Summary

"Although uranium is radioactive, it is not particularly rare. It is widely spread throughout the environment and so it is impossible to avoid uranium. Uranium can be found naturally in the environment in very small amounts in rocks, soil, air and water. Humans add uranium metals and compounds, because they are released during mining and milling processes."

According to Lenntech.com ". . . uranium is radioactive, it is not particularly rare [ non enriched form]." They continue to talk about the many sources that uranium is introduced into the human body such as food, air, and water. The small amouts in each of these sources are nowhere near the amount at which uranium becomes toxic. It isn't until the uranium is enriched that small quanitites becomes highly dangorus to humans. In mining and milling the amount a human is exsposed to becomes greater and so does the riskes involved.(www.lenntech.com)

Uranium is found throughout the world. It is not at all a rare mineral. This makes uranium exsposure a daily occurrence in everyones daily lives. This mineral is found everywhere from air, to the soil, to the water that we drink.(www.lenntech.com)

Most people don't think about uranium exsposure as somthing that happens in their lives. With the amount of uranium in our enviroment makes this a daily occurrence. Even though this material is radioactive by nature, there isn't anything to fear. The introduction of uranium into the human body come form the air, soil, and water all around us.(www.lenntech.com)
