“…U is a chemo-radiotoxic element that can cause multifactorial health hazards (IAEA 1976;Rathod et al 2023). Workers involved in the extraction, processing and transport of U-waste may face OHS risks (koeyers 1996;Paschoa and Steinhäusler 2010;Ehsani et al 2019;nabhani and khan 2020).…”

“…Studies investigating the health effects of U mining have revealed that uranium miners have an increased risk of certain cancers, such as liver, stomach and kidney cancers (Winde 2013;Semenova et al 2020). Health risks associated with exposure to U-waste include potential radiological hazards and exposure to radioactive particles (Rathod et al 2023). Potential health effects of exposure to uranium mill waste (landa 2004) include external exposure to gamma radiation, inhalation of radon gases and the consumption of food products grown in radium-contaminated soil (Denham et al 1986;Bochud et al 2011).…”
