Toxilogical Limits for Soluble Uranium Intake

["Dale Thomas" <Dale.Thomas@guardian.brooks.af.mil>]

     I am forwarding this to RADSAFE as well as DOSE-NET since I thought it 
     may have some relevance to the practice of general health physics.

     Does anybody in dose-net land have any information on the 
     toxicological limits for chronic intake of soluble uranium through the 
     ingestion pathway?  We have been asked to evaluate the risk to the 
     public from consumption of water obtained through a ground water 
     aquifer with elevated concentrations of uranium.  I have a pretty good 
     feel for the radiological implications, but the nephrotoxicity issue 
     is outside my normal boundaries.  Any good advice?
