نویسنده
چکیده
Explain the function of health effects requirements in 10 CFR 70.61, Indicate the purpose of producing the report Discuss the uncertaintaies and explain the extent of “educated guessing” that is involved in recommending new and revised criteria Explain how these criteria are to be applied in protecting the public and the worker, and why they are different for each category Discuss how soluble U could impact workers (workers in the immediate area and collocated workers) and the public (located beyond the controlled area)

The Toxicity of Depleted Uranium
Depleted uranium (DU) is an emerging environmental pollutant that is introduced into the environment primarily by military activity. While depleted uranium is less radioactive than natural uranium, it still retains all the chemical toxicity associated with the original element. In large doses the kidney is the target organ for the acute chemical toxicity of this metal, producing potentially let...
متن کاملIn Vivo Nanodetoxication for Acute Uranium Exposure.
Accidental exposure to uranium is a matter of concern, as U(VI) is nephrotoxic in both human and animal models, and its toxicity is associated to chemical toxicity instead of radioactivity. We synthesized different PAMAM G4 and G5 derivatives in order to prove their interaction with uranium and their effect on the viability of red blood cells in vitro. Furthermore, we prove the effectiveness of...
متن کاملExecutive Summary - Report of the International Workshop on In Vitro Methods for Assessing Acute Systemic Toxicity
Toxicity testing is conducted to determine the potential human health hazards of chemicals and products. Acute systemic toxicity testing is used to properly classify and appropriately label materials with regard to their lethality potential in accordance with established regulatory requirements (49 CFR 173; 16 CFR 1500; 29 CFR 1910; 40 CFR 156). Non-lethal parameters may also be evaluated in ac...
متن کاملA Review on Toxicodynamics of Depleted Uranium
Depleted uranium (DU) is an important by product in uranium enrichment process. Due toits applications in civilian and also military activity, DU emerged as environmental pollutant.The exposure to DU can occur via external or internal pathways. In external exposure, mainlybeta radiation from the decay products contributes to DU toxicity. Internal exposure to DUis more im...
