technically. uranium emits radiation which is harmless if we don't absorb to much of it but too much and we either die or our offspring and/or we have genetic mutations
Another answer:
You should avoid Uranium. In addition to being weakly radioactive, Uranium IS a toxic metal. Normal functioning of the kidney, brain, liver, heart and other systems can be affected by uranium exposure. Uranium is also a reproductive toxicant. Exposure to uranium and its decay products, especially radon, are widely known.
Also note that finely divided uranium metal presents a fire hazard because uranium is pyrophoric; small grains will ignite spontaneously in air at room temperature.
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for weapons.
Disadvantages of uranium mining and processing: 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.
Uranium is an Alpha emitter, ingestion of uranium containing materials exposes the body internally to Alpha radiation which can mutate cells causing cancer. Uranium is also a moderately toxic heavy metal, ingestion of very large amounts could cause heavy metal poisoning.
Uranium itself is a radioactive and toxic element. All the elements from the decay chain of uranium isotopes are also radioactive (ex.: radon, radium, etc.) excepting the final product, an isotope of lead.
Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element.
Uranium is toxic and radioactive.
Uranium is radioactive and toxic.
Uranium is toxic and radioactive (also the compounds of uranium).
Uranium ia a radioactive and toxic element.
Uranium is indeed toxic, primarily due to its radioactive properties. Exposure to uranium can cause a range of health problems, including kidney damage, increased cancer risk, and other long-term health effects. Handling uranium requires proper safety precautions to minimize exposure and potential health hazards.
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for nuclear weapons.
Uranium is a very useful material but uranium is also toxic an radioactive.
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for weapons.
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.
No, uranium is a very toxic chemical element and also is radioactive.
yes, most uranium is considered toxic and radioactive
