People that live near hazardous waste sites, people that live near mines, people that work in the phosphate industry, people that eat crops grown-up on contaminated soil or people that drink water from a uranium waste disposal point may experience a higher exposure than other people. Uranium glazes are banned, but some artists that still utilize them for glasswork will experience a higher-than-usual exposure.
