Uranium in Rhode Island well water

In Rhode Island, 0% of 21 tested private well samples exceeded the EPA limit for uranium (30 ug/L).

Uranium in well water comes from granite bedrock. Its main health effect is chemical toxicity to the kidneys rather than radiation. It is common in the same areas where radon and arsenic occur.
