Radioactive Uranium causes cancer when exposed on large scale. Persistent small scale radiation can cause loss in red blood cells, infertility and mental disorders.
For example lung cancers, from uranium (and the daughters radium and radon).
Uranium exposure can cause kidney damage, especially in individuals who inhale or ingest uranium dust or compounds over a long period. It may also increase the risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer, bone cancer, and leukemia. Additionally, uranium exposure can lead to reproductive issues and affect the central nervous system.
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.
An illness that is able to cause death.
No, but if constipation is caused by illness, the illness can cause a period to be late.
Uranium is both radioactive and a toxic metal to humans. Exposure to uranium can disrupt normal function of most systems in the body. Uranium itself has not been shown to be a direct cause in any human deaths, but exposure to its ions has.
Yes, uranium can leave rays which can pass the body and cause cancer or death.
Yes, uranium powders and aerosols are possible causes of lung cancer.
acute enreric illness
An illness that has a psychological cause and does not involve brain damage is Psychosis.
The principal risk is the inhalation of radon and uranium fine powders.These can cause lung cancers.
Because uranium has a very high density (19,1 g/cm3) it is useful for military vehicles armors (to reduce the possibility of penetration) or for projectiles (to increase the penetration). Also uranium is a source of pollution or illness in the invaded country.
