Radioactive metal causing kidney damage and cancer risk. Below are US cities ranked by their measured Uranium levels compared to EPA limits. Higher percentages indicate greater concern.
Vulnerable Populations: The EPA limit is based on kidney toxicity, not cancer risk. Those with existing kidney problems are at higher risk.

Most effective treatment for uranium. Strong base anion exchange resin.
Effective point-of-use treatment option.
Very effective but impractical for large volumes.
Uranium is common in groundwater from granite, sandstone, and other formations in the Southwest, Rocky Mountains, and upper Midwest.
The EPA limit is set to protect against kidney damage, which occurs at lower levels than significant cancer risk. Both are concerns with chronic exposure.
No. Boiling concentrates uranium. Specialized filtration is required.
