https://phys.org/news/2022-04-uranium-two-thirds.html Uranium detectable in two-thirds of US community water system monitoring records. Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health found that metal concentrations were particularly elevated in CWSs serving semi-urban, Hispanic communities independent of location or region, highlighting environmental justice concerns. These communities had the highest levels of uranium, selenium, barium, chromium, and arsenic concentrations. Even at low concentrations, uranium in particular represents an important risk factor for the development of chronic diseases. #water #uranium #tapwater #drinkingwater #radiation
