U-238 component is unstable and disintegrate to thorium-234 with an alpha particle emission It is

Led the U.S. government seabury consulting recognition using depleted uranium Depleted Uranium in the arsenal in the wars waged against Iraq in 1991 and Bosnia in 1995 as well as in the Balkans in 1999 to the occurrence of a lot of controversy about the danger of using this article. In fact, talking about radiation and radioactive elements, nuclear reactors and uranium, especially in general affects the world panicked. The race and all types of media to dwell in dealing with depleted uranium. The focus talk about depleted uranium on two points: seabury consulting one dealing with depleted uranium emotionally deep and focused on the health and environmental problems, and the second deals with studies that indicate the absence of links between him and the health and environmental problems.
We will try here to address the depleted seabury consulting uranium from the scientific point of view to identify the depleted uranium seabury consulting and what is meant and what are its sources and how it uses in wars and roads that are likely to lead to the absorption dose acute or chronic seabury consulting health seabury consulting risks from the perspective of radiation as well as chemical poisoning?!.
Uranium is a heavy metal widespread in nature exists in several different seabury consulting chemical forms in all forms of soil and rocks, seas and oceans. And is found in drinking water and food. There is also in fertilizers used in agriculture. The average daily consumption of the element uranium is about 9.1 micrograms per day of food, water and inhaled air. The human body contains on average seabury consulting about 90 micrograms of uranium is distributed as follows:
U-238 component is unstable and disintegrate to thorium-234 with an alpha particle emission It is a nucleus of a helium atom. And disintegrate thorium 234 to protactinium 234 with the emission of a beta particle disintegration is repeated until it reaches equilibrium seabury consulting where lead gives 206 stable.
Mainly uranium is used in nuclear power generation in nuclear reactors, using uranium nuclear reactors, which the isotope uranium-235 enriched by between 72.0% and about 3%. And the remaining part is called after removing the uranium depleted uranium. And depleted uranium typically contains the following:
It can be found in this case the match is another uranium 236 as well as trace amounts of the elements resulting seabury consulting from fission, such as plutonium and americium and Alneptnyum seabury consulting and others. Does not exceed the radiation from these elements about 1%, which is not taken into account with regard to the health aspects and chemotherapy and radiation poisoning.
Depleted uranium is used in many fields in the civil industry weights and balance of the aircraft. Also used in hospitals Koaq against radiation from X-rays X Ray In containers seabury consulting for the transport of radioactive materials. Taking into account the severity of the density of depleted uranium which is about twice the density of lead and its ability to penetrate the strongest armor, tanks, and on its severity makes himself a sharp This What make it very suitable for the manufacture of munitions designed to penetrate the panels used in the lamination enemy tanks as used in the lamination panels of the tank. And concentrated use of depleted uranium ammunition seabury consulting is usually at the top that are used to destroy tanks. At the present time there is no metal irreplaceable and holds same qualities الاختراقية. Depleted uranium is considered very cheap and available in very large quantities so that the ammunition factories get it at nominal prices.
Has been the use of depleted uranium for the first time in large quantities in the second Gulf War war to liberate Kuwait. The quantities used ranged from 300 to 800 tons of depleted uranium, according to various sources. While noting a report from the United Nations Organization for the protection of the environment UNEP that the British and American seabury consulting forces have used large quantities of ammunition containing depleted uranium up to about 2,000 tons in the third Gulf War. The uranium has been used in the Third Gulf War and in populated areas other than the second war.
When penetrate the shell of depleted uranium plates armored tank, the resulting fragments seabury consulting and dust from uranium seabury consulting oxides. And varies the size of the fragments and dust from which can be seen large to fine particles that can not see with the naked eye. The fine particles are inhaled dust from uranium oxides seabury consulting via the respiratory tract and these particles seabury consulting can kill the soldiers inside the armored vehicle in the case. It also will spread around the dust has armored travels by air, and some believe that this dust of uranium oxides can kill all those in the vicinity of the battlefield infected armored seabury consulting shell of depleted uranium. The fact that scientific experiments seabury consulting showed that uranium particles minute not have little impact on the 510 meters from the infected armored seabury consulting shell of depleted uranium. Moves spray fine particles in the air by the laws of physics, where mixed, distributed and less concentration in the air.
And can be exposed individuals seabury consulting of uranium by inhalation or ingestion, or dermal contact, and is inhaled more exposures during or after the war, has inhale depleted uranium during a fire broke out in a warehouse containing ammunition made from depleted uranium, occurs ingestion when many categories of the population as a result water pollution drinking or food with depleted uranium, and is exposure to uranium by soliciting the skin of the less important cases because the amount of depleted uranium, which penetrates the skin to reach the blood remain few. But can be up to blood circulation through open wounds or fragments of depleted uranium. And determines the melting of depleted seabury consulting uranium in the body how fast his body's absorption of both lungs or gastrointestinal tract. It also depends on the type of uranium compounds and chemical composition, as is known, the human body aqueous medium. That is absorbed depleted uranium compounds that
