Potential health effects

INHALATION: Short Term Exposure: May cause lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, kidney damage, blood in the urine, jaundice, weakness, drowsiness, incoordination, twitching, sterility, blood disorders, convulsions and shock. May also cause death. Exposure to radioactive substances increases one's risk of developing cancer. Long Term Effects: In addition to effects from short-term exposure, anemia, cataracts and lung damage may occur. SKIN CONTACT: Short Term Exposure: May cause skin irritation. May cause kidney damage. Long Term Effects: In addition to effects from short-term exposure, liver damage may occur. EYE CONTACT: Short Term Exposure: May cause irritation. Additionally, eye damage, including ulcerations, may occur. Long Term Effects: It is unlikely that long term eye contact would occur as the effects of short term exposure, over a period of time, would result in serious eye damage. However, if long term exposure did occur, cataracts may also occur. INGESTION: Short Term Exposure: May cause drooling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, weakness, twitching, kidney damage and convulsions. May cause increased cancer risk. Long Term Effects: No information available on significant adverse effects. Prolonged exposure to uranium compounds may cause kidney damage and elevated cancer risk. CARCINOGEN STATUS:
