The concentration of uranium in sea water is approx. 4 micrograms/L.
At this concentration the price of extraction is very prohibitive.

What are the existing levels of uranium in the environment?

Uranium concentration (abundance) in the earth cust: 2-3 ppm (miligram/kilogram) Uranium concentration in the sea water: ca.3 ppb (microgram/kilogram) Uranium concentration (abundance) at the earth surface (soils, rocks, vegetation, air, etc.) is very variable.

How common is uranium in nature?

The concentration of uranium in living beings is very different. In the human body the mean concentration is 0,000 000 003 % (atomic). Of course workers in the uranium industry and peoples living near uranium plants, mines and regions rich in uranium has a greater concentration of U in the body.


What would happen if uranium spilled into water?

Water pollution; it is important to know the quantity spilled, the possibility of dilution, the estimated concentration, if it is irradiated uranium, etc.


How does uranium deposits affect the water supply?

Uranium deposits can contaminate groundwater and surface water through leaching and runoff. When uranium dissolves in water, it can pose health risks if consumed in high concentrations. Proper management and monitoring of uranium deposits are required to protect the quality of the water supply.


If water system in a condo has 133 mcl uranium what are the chances that there is radon in the condo?

Radon is a progeny of uranium, as a radioactive decay element, independently of the uranium quantity or concentration.


Why the sea water taste salty?

Because sea water has high concentration of salts.


Where is the greatest concentration of water if a red blood corpuscle is placed in sea water?

The greatest concentration of water in this scenario would be inside the red blood corpuscle. Sea water is a hypertonic solution compared to the inside of the cell, meaning it has a higher concentration of solutes. Water would flow out of the cell into the sea water in an attempt to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to shrink.
