This is a report related to toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicological and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicological properties and other relevant literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies.
The focus of the profile is on health and toxicological information, each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in non-technical language and a substance's relevant properties.
This public health statement reports you about uranium and the effects of exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most severe hazardous waste sites in the nation. This EPA sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are the sites targeted for long-term federal cleanup actions. Elevated uranium levels have been set up in at least 54 of the 1,517 current or former NPL sites. However, the total number of NPL sites evaluated for this substance is unknown. As more sites are evaluated, the sites at which uranium is found may increase and this information is important because exposure to this substance may harm you and because these sites may be sources of exposure.
