Health Effects of Uranium

Uranium in drinking water primarily causes kidney toxicity — it's a chemical toxin before it's a radiation hazard at the levels found in water. Long-term exposure above the MCL can cause kidney damage and increased cancer risk.

How to Remove Uranium From Drinking Water

The most effective treatment for uranium removal is Reverse Osmosis or Ion Exchange. Look for filters certified under NSF 58 standards.
