Uranium can cause:

1, various cancers.

2. Genetic variation. If it comes into direct contact with the skin, or worse, it enters the human body through breathing, food or water, the harm to the human body will multiply. As far as the toxicity of heavy metals is concerned, this toxicity will not occur until it enters the human body.

Such as breathing, drinking water and so on. Uranium, like other heavy metal elements, such as lead, cadmium and arsenic, can cause various cancers, chronic poisoning and physical diseases. If workers in Jin Gangzuan are exposed to uranium, it must be related to drilling. You must be fully armed and wear protective clothing at work. At the very least, wear gloves and masks to avoid direct contact. Otherwise you will regret it.

The role of uranium:

The procedure of obtaining uranium is complicated, and the content of uranium 235 in natural uranium is very low, so scientists should use various methods to increase the concentration of uranium 235. Uranium -235 is mainly used to manufacture nuclear weapons and is applied in the field of national defense. In addition, uranium is also used as fuel for nuclear power reactors, power generation for nuclear power plants and energy supply for nuclear submarines, but these are not uranium -235, but other uranium models with different mass numbers.

Uranium is highly radioactive, and when people are polluted by this radioactive element, the damage is permanent. In addition, uranium also has important applications in science and technology and industrial and agricultural production.

Uranium is an element with atomic number 92, and its symbol is U, which is the heaviest element that can be found in nature. There are three isotopes in nature, all of which are radioactive and have a very long half-life (hundreds of thousands to 4.5 billion years). In addition, there are 12 artificial isotopes (226U~240U). Uranium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789. Uranium compounds were used to color porcelain in the early days and used as nuclear fuel after nuclear fission was discovered.
