The air pollution with uranium is generally not important (excepting the area of mines); but the radioactive gas radon, a product of the radioactive decay chain of uranium is very dangerous and responsible for some lung cancers.
always available or renewable; produces little air pollution

Yes, uranium mining and uranium industry can cause air pollution with uranium aerosols; also the decay chain products radium and radon (gas) are dangerous. Severe precautions were taken when working with uranium.
Not unless it is burned along with something, you can't; uranium does not do anything much, and the only reason that we use it, is because of its quality of radioactivity. == my answer== Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive mineral that is mined to be processed into fuel for nuclear reactors and similar things. The mining of Uranium pollutes. The material itself can be released during mining and processing and pollutes air and water resources, generally not in densities or concentrations to harm the environment. The uranium itself doesn't do anything. what we do to it to get and produce power does. What a world we live in!
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.
the air
Yes, they do have but only a little much. Ozone and air pollution might be indirectly related.
- no air pollution - no greenhouse effects - no fossil fuel - the most important alternative source of energy - it is the energy of the future
In areas far from uranium mines, the dominate source of uranium water pollution is coal fired power plants.Near uranium mines such pollution is likely to come from rainwater percolating through tailings piles, then entering a river.
air pollution travels in the air
Uranium is a not a so rare material !
there's air pollution everywhere no matter where you go there's air pollution.
