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.

How does the density of a hershey bar compare to the density of the a half bar?
anastassius [24]

The density would be the same for the whole bar as well as one half of the bar. Density is a identity I believe, by this I mean that it stays the same no matter how little or how much of the same substance you have. Since density = mass / volume, half the bar has half of the weight as well as half of the volume of the whole bar, making the density the same.

For example, a block weighs 10 grams and has a volume of 5 ml. the density would be d = 10/5 or, d = 2g/ml

Half of the block weighs 5 grams and has a volume of 2.5 ml. The density is d = 5/2.5, or, d = 2 g/ml.

See, although there are different amounts of the same substance, their density is the same.
