Uranium accumulates in bone, affects bone metabolism in laboratory animals, and when ingested in drinking water increases urinary excretion of calcium and phosphate, important components in the bone structure. However, little is known about bone effects of ingested natural uranium in humans. We studied 146 men and 142 women 26-83 years of age who for an average of 13 years had used drinking wat...

متن کاملChronic Exposure of a Canadian Aboriginal Community to Uranium in Drinking Water: Chemical Toxicity and Radiation Dose
A study of an aboriginal community was conducted to determine if kidney function had been affected by the chronic ingestion of uranium in drinking water from drilled wells whose uranium concentrations varied from <1 to 1,418 ppb. This non-invasive study relied on the measurement of a combination of indicators of kidney function and markers for cell toxicity measured in urine samples collected f...
