Exactly what happens to depleted uranium particles
Sunday, August 1st, 2010In the past I’ve made a number of posts and videos mentioning the fact that uranium is a rather common mineral and that it’s been used in a number of consumer products. Indeed, thousands of kitchen cabinets contain uranium-glazed dinnerware, some of which was mass produced as recently as the 1980’s.
This has been met with a curious response on numerous occasions. Many concede that uranium is not all that harmful when touched or even ingested but then say “but what about the nano-particles.” The dust, or “nanoparticles” resulting from uranium combustion are one thing that seems to come up again and again. They are often credited with nearly magical properties, like the ability to stay suspended in the air indefinitely or to cause horrible health problems even in those far from the location where the uranium projectile was fired.
Indeed uranium tends to be more hazardous when inhaled than when exposure is by other routes, but that’s the extent of the truth to these statements. Uranium is hardly unique in this respect. Exposure to dust in general can cause respiratory problems, and certain metallic particles, such as beryllium, are well known to be especially hazardous if inhaled. By comparison, uranium less dangerous, though it can be a hazard in high concentrations.


For some good information debunking the ridiculous “chemtrail” claims that have been made as of late, I highly recommend the website 

Is it just me or is the headline of this real news story just slightly misleadings:
