Health hazards that are associated with uranium mining

Uranium is a radioactive substance that is used for generation of the thermal energy in the nuclear power plant. But uranium mining and processing is associated with numerous health effects related with the exposure to the radioactive decay products. The person may either inhale, ingest or the toxins can also seep inside the tissues through cut. The radioactive waste are responsible for causing drastic mutations and cancer.

<h3>What is Uranium mining ?</h3>

The process of removing uranium ore from the earth is known as uranium mining. In 2019, 53,656 tonnes of uranium were produced globally. The top three uranium producers are Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia, who together produce 68% of the world's uranium.

  • The impacts of uranium mining are extensive, causing radioactive dust, radon gas, water-borne poisons, and higher background radiation levels in the environment. In order to produce nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, uranium must first be mined.

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
LenaWriter [7]
The density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He. 
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required 
    = 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
   = 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
  Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He

An electron in a hydrogen atom relaxes to the n=4 level, emitting light of 74 THz.
Solnce55 [7]
Delta E = Ef - Ei
E = energy , h = plank constant  , v = frequency
h= 6.626 * 10 ^-34 j*s  ,  T = 10 ^ 12  , v = 74 * 10 ^12 Hz  ,  Hz = s^-1 

E = ( 6.626 * 10^ -34 j*s) ( 74 * 10 ^ 12 s^ -1 )  =   4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J
Delta E  = Ef  -  Ei
-4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J =  -2.18 * 10 ^ -18J ( 1/4 ^2 - 1/x ^2)
0.0225 = 0.0625 -  ( 1/x ^ 2)
0.225 - 0.0625 =  - 1/ x ^ 2 

- 0.0400 = - 1/x ^2    =   -1 / - 0.0400    =   x^2
25   =  x^2 
     x = 5
