If you won't believe the CDC, then what more can be said? Message 34234291 How can it hurt me? Because uranium decays by alpha particles, external exposure to uranium is not as dangerous as exposure to other radioactive elements because the skin will block the alpha particles. Ingestion of high concentrations of uranium, however, can cause severe health effects, such as cancer of the bone or liver. Inhaling large concentrations of uranium can cause lung cancer from the exposure to alpha particles. Uranium is also a toxic chemical, meaning that ingestion of uranium can cause kidney damage from its chemical properties much sooner than its radioactive properties would cause cancers of the bone or liver. For more information about U-235 and U-238, see the Public Health Statement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry at wwwn.cdc.gov, or visit the Environmental Protection Agency at epa.gov.
