I have been doing some research and according to Wikipedia Uranium is damaging to the kidneys causing Kidney failure and Uranium is also a toxic metal which makes it not good to breath uranium. Is uranium in drinking water safe? I think definitely not because it is a toxic metal and it is not good for the body and causes kidney problems. so "NO" ---------- All the drinking waters have uranium in small concentration, some micrograms to liter. Drinking waters suppliers or other national authorities mention the maximum permitted level of uranium or general radioactivity in water.

Can uranium kill you?
Yes, uranium is radioactive and exposure to high levels of uranium can be harmful and potentially fatal. Ingesting or inhaling uranium can result in long-term health effects, including an increased risk of cancer and damage to internal organs.

Are emeralds radioactive?
Emeralds themselves are not radioactive. However, some emeralds may contain traces of radioactive elements like uranium, thorium, or radium which can emit low levels of radiation, but it is typically not considered harmful to human health.
Is uranium in food?
Of course not ! But note that all the foods and drinking waters have an extremely small concentration of uranium - it is inevitable, it is a natural phenomenon because uranium is a common element and very disperse.
How do trans fat molecules affect our health and why are they considered harmful?
Trans fat molecules are harmful to our health because they raise levels of "bad" cholesterol and lower levels of "good" cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease. They are considered harmful because they can lead to clogged arteries and other cardiovascular problems.
What is caused by the increased nitrate levels?
Increased nitrate levels in water can lead to harmful algal blooms, depleted oxygen levels in aquatic ecosystems, and potential health risks for humans if consumed in drinking water above recommended levels.
Does marble counter tops give off radiation?
Marble countertops can emit low levels of radiation due to the naturally occurring radioactive elements present in the stone, such as uranium and thorium. However, the amount of radiation emitted is typically considered to be negligible and not harmful to human health.

What happens if you drink uranium?
Uranium is a heavy metal, as is lead, chromium, mercury, etc. As such, it is poisonous, but takes time to affect the body- usually kidneys, brain, and liver. It is also radioactive. Exposure to high levels of radiation can produce radiation sickness, cancer, and in very high levels, death.
How does uranium kill people?
1. If it is used in nuclear weapons. 2. If it is ingested, because uranium is toxic. 3. If it is inhaled because alpha radiations from uranium, radium and radon destroy pulmonary alveoli. 4. In the case of an accident of criticality. 5. After a contact with irradiated uranium, because all the radiations emitted by the fission products are dangerous.
