[en] A study was conducted in two Canadian towns to determine the feasibility of using urinalysis data to estimate uranium uptake where exposure is through the chronic ingestion of soluble natural uranium in drinking water. Forty-three subjects participated in the study. Uranium levels in drinking water varied from 5 to 376 μg/L, and intakes ranged from 3 to 628 μd/day. Urinary excretion varied from 1 to 10 μg/day. Variation of the gut absorption factor (f1) correlated poorly with gender, years of residence, and age, while significant negative correlation was obtained with intakes greater than 9.5 μg/day.
