Why is breathing or swallowing a small amount of uranium compound fatal?
Because Alhpa radiation is by far most dangerous radiation, but it is very easily stopped be few cm of air or by a piece of paper. However if one swallows (or breathes in) a source of Alhpa radiation (uranium for example) it will do damage cells DNA beyond repair. The reason why alpha radiation is so much more dangerous than Betta and Gamma is because it's particles relatively large and able to destroy both of the DNA stands simultaneously.
