Uranium

What is Uranium and where is it found?

Uranium is a heavy metal and radioactive element primarily found in rocks, soil, and groundwater. Its presence in the environment can also result from industrial activities, including mining and processing. In some regions, high natural levels of uranium can contaminate drinking water and soil.

Why do I have an inflammatory reaction to Uranium?

An inflammatory reaction to uranium may result from its toxicity and radioactive properties. Uranium exposure can lead to oxidative stress, which damages cells and triggers inflammation. Additionally, uranium can accumulate in bones and kidneys, causing potential organ damage and immune responses.

What can I do about it?

Minimize exposure by using water filters that remove uranium, avoiding areas with high environmental contamination, and practicing safety measures if working with uranium or uranium-containing materials.
