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!

Dangers of disposing uranium?
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.
Is air pollution cause landslides?
no air pollution does not cause landslides
What is better coal or uranium and why?
Uranium is better because the contribution to greenhose effect is zero, the transport is easer, the pollution is more important (compared with coal).
What are the medical uses of uranium?
Uranium is not used to fight against cancer !Inhalation of fine powders of uranium or uranium compounds may be a cause of lung cancers.
Do cell phones cause noise pollution..?
maybe not CAUSE noise pollution,but they sure do affect it. ;-)
Does uranium cause an 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.
Dangers of disposing uranium?
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.
Does uranium have little air pollution?
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.
How does radioactive waste affect the water?
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.
Can wind cause pollution?
No, wind does not cause pollution
What is the environmental impact when using uranium?
Possible pollution of soils and waters; also pollution with radium and radon from the decay chain.
Is uranium good for the environment?
Uranium is a toxic and radioactive metal; of course the contamination of waters, soils, etc. must be avoided.Accidents in uranium mines or plants can lead to pollution of waters and soils.
Where can you find uranium in France?
From about 15 years uranium mines in France are closed.Being a very rich country they prefer to buy uranium from other countries avoiding pollution and problems with miners in France.
Is air pollution cause landslides?
no air pollution does not cause landslides
How does matter cause pollution?
Matter does not cause pollution. Human beings do.
What is better coal or uranium and why?
Uranium is better because the contribution to greenhose effect is zero, the transport is easer, the pollution is more important (compared with coal).
What are the fossil fuels that do not cause pollution?
There isn't any fossill fuels that don't cause pollution. All fossil fuels cause pollution.
