Difference between Depleted uranium and Toxicity

Depleted uranium vs. Toxicity

Depleted uranium (DU; also referred to in the past as Q-metal, depletalloy or D-38) is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope U-235 than natural uranium. Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical substance or a particular mixture of substances can damage an organism.

Similarities between Depleted uranium and Toxicity

Depleted uranium and Toxicity have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Carcinogen, Dose (biochemistry), Hydrofluoric acid, Immune system, Ionizing radiation, Lead, Liver, Mercury (element), Neurotoxicity, Poison, Radioactive decay, Teratology, Toxicity, Toxicology, Uranium.

Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

Poison

In biology, poisons are substances that cause disturbances in organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when an organism absorbs a sufficient quantity.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.
