Hey guys,
Today I am going to talk about uranium in your drinking
water. If you live in an area with high concentration of uranium in your soil,
chances are you probably have trace amounts of it in your water. I you do,
relax, a little radiation is good for you, but that’s a past topic.
It would seem that natural radiation from uranium is not
that much a health concern unless you drink it. The alpha particles emitted by
uranium can do really bad things inside your body. Bathing in it should not
affect you at all. The uranium can alos affect your bodies filtering system,
the kidneys.
If you live close enough to a town that you are on a public
water system instead of a well, you have nothing to worry about. The cities are
mandated to test their water for elevated levels of uranium and other
contaminates.
If you are fortunate enough to live away from the vity and
have your own unchlorinated, untested well, then a reverse osmosis system or a
carbon filter that is standard in most homes will work just fine. If you are
now worried, get a test done. Or just invest in a decent filter. It will
probably help your water quality anyway and make you feel all soapy even when
your not.
That’s all for now!!
