The radioactivity of natural uranium is not so important. The external irradiation is very low.
But the internal irradiation is dangerous: alpha radiations from inhaled uranium, radium and radon (Ra and Rn released by decay from U) can destroy pulmonary alveoli and cause lung cancers.
Also the ingestion is dangerous because soluble salts of uranium are toxic.

What is a method for uranium mining?
Uranium mining can be either by open pit mining or by underground mining.
Does uranium mining result in globalwarming?
Uranium mining and nuclear energy are not contributors to global warming.
Why are diamond mines dangerous?
Diamond mines can be dangerous due to factors such as mine collapses, exposure to harmful chemicals, and the potential for accidents involving heavy machinery. Poor ventilation and unstable working conditions also contribute to the risks associated with diamond mining.
How is uranium captured?
Uranium is captured through a process called uranium mining, which involves extracting uranium ore from the ground. This ore is then processed to separate the uranium from other minerals and impurities. The uranium is further refined and enriched to be used in various applications, such as nuclear power generation.
What is the NAICS code for uramium radium vandadium mining?
NAICS Code(s) 212291 (Uranium-Radium-Vanadium Ore Mining)
What is a method for uranium mining?
Uranium mining can be either by open pit mining or by underground mining.
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.
Does uranium mining result in globalwarming?
Uranium mining and nuclear energy are not contributors to global warming.
How do you harvest URANIUM?
Uranium is a product of mining industry.
Is uranium found in raw diamonds?
Uranium mining and diamond mining are two distinct and separate endeavors that do not occur together. There is no uranium in raw diamonds.
Is uranium mining still going on in Colorado?
Now, no mining.
How is uranium recovered or produced?
Uranium is recovered by mining and chemical processing.
Why was the ban put on uranium mining in Virginia?
uranium is highly radioactive
How is uranium recovered?
Via mining.
Is uranium open pit mining?
no.
Is uranium mining hazardous to the surrounding community?
Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon. 4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated. But working with care these risks can be minimized or avoided.
How is uranium used in gold mining?
I think you must of mis understood something. People mine for gold and uranium (uranite) at the same time they don't use uranium while they are mining. Considering all these mining explosions it is a stupid idea.
