Conclusions from in Vivo studies:

Internalised chronic DU exposure in vivo:

1. causes uranium re-distribution to multiple organs.
2. is associated with mutagenicity.
3. Induces chromosomal damage.
4. Induces leukeamia development in mice.
5. Causes preconceptional paternal exposure to induce genomic damage in unexposed offspring.
6. Induces germ cell DNA damage.
