Abstract
Growing scientific evidence resulting from both in vivo and in vitro analyses suggests that current models of uranium dust toxicity on humans are not fully satisfactory. They should be refined in order to obtain more effective responses and predictions regarding health effects. A review of recent findings in the field of uranium toxicity is carried out, and a model based on the Toxicity Equivalent Factor approach is outlined. The model takes into account both radiological and chemical toxicity of Uranium, and it will be adopted for a revision of risk assessment due to Depleted Uranium dust.Pubblicazioni consigliate
