Radioactive components and human health in Vieques,[object Object],Lysander Borrero Romero,[object Object],RISE Program,[object Object]
Introduction,[object Object],Radioactivity: spontaneous disintegration of an unstable atomic nucleus and the emission of particles or electromagnetic radiation. ,[object Object],There are three different types of radiation.,[object Object]
Alpha particles: are helium nuclei, containing two protons and two neutrons.,[object Object],Beta particles: are electrons being capable of traveling at speeds approaching the speed of light.,[object Object],Gamma rays: high energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths. ,[object Object]
Uranium,[object Object],In 1789, Martin Heinrich Klaproth was the first to discover uranium along with zirconium and titanium.,[object Object],In 1842,Eugène Melchior Péligot was the first to isolate the uranium in it’s metallic state.,[object Object]
Is one of the heaviest natural-occurring elements.,[object Object],Natural uranium contains three radioactive isotopes. ,[object Object]
Depleted Uranium,[object Object],The radioactive isotope U-234 it is extracted almost completely and almost 1/3 of the U-235 is removed. ,[object Object],It is 60% more radioactive than natural uranium. ,[object Object],It can also contain small traces of other small radioactive isotopes.,[object Object]
It is involved in the fabrication of missiles and projectiles. ,[object Object],When a missile or a projectile is launched or fired, it leaves behind a cloud of small particles or dust.  ,[object Object]
There are two types of exposures :,[object Object],External exposure,[object Object],Internal exposure ,[object Object]
Mortality Rates,[object Object],25% Children fatality ,[object Object],30% Cancer rate ,[object Object],95% Diabetes ,[object Object],45% Cirrhosis,[object Object],381% Hypertension,[object Object]
Deaths by Cancer,[object Object],C,[object Object],A,[object Object],S,[object Object],E,[object Object],S,[object Object],Y E A R S,[object Object]
Objective,[object Object],Identify the consequences of depleted uranium in the human body.,[object Object]
Methodology,[object Object],Interview patients with cancer in Vieques and in Puerto Rico. ,[object Object],Hair samples,[object Object],Samples of soils, water, algae, and plants. ,[object Object]
Hypothesis,[object Object],Either long-term exposure or proximity exposure can affect the human health. ,[object Object]
Expected Results,[object Object],Depleted uranium can cause various effects on the human health, but only on long-term exposure. ,[object Object]
