How mining legacy dust leaves a uranium fingerprint in children's hair #environment

How mining legacy dust leaves a uranium fingerprint in children's hair
For decades, families in communities around Johannesburg have been living close to huge gold mining waste dumps. For many residents, the dust that is released there is just part of everyday life—but it can contain natural uranium compounds that come to the surface with the mined rock. A new study in the journal Environmental Geochemistry and Health reveals how this exposure is reflected in children's hair.
