In a study of metal concentrations and inequality patterns in U.
Uranium, in particular, is an important risk factor for the development of chronic diseases, even at low concentrations
Anne Nigra, PhD, assistant professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, said: "Previous research has found an association between long-term uranium exposure and increased risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, kidney damage and lung cancer with high levels of uranium exposure
About 90 percent of U.
According to the findings, from 2000 to 2011, 2 percent of community water systems reported average uranium concentrations that exceeded the U.
Nigra and her colleagues note that the consistent association between elevated CWS metal concentrations and Hispanic communities in the hemi-urban implies that the concentration differences are a failure of regulatory policy or treatment, rather than underlying geology
"Therefore, there is a need for more regulatory policies, enforcement of regulations and improved infrastructure to reduce disparities in hydration water metal concentrations and protect communities served by public water systems with higher metal concentrations," Nigra said
