    From the paper: "The maximum quantity of uranium leached from the uranium-bearing glasses was about 30 micrograms L-1, while that from the ceramic-glazed items was about 300,000 micrograms L-1. "

    Thanks for posting this!!

      Also, the green glow isn’t from radioactive decay, it’s the uranium fluorescing under the UV light stationed just out of frame.

          Most of the produce you buy in grocery stores have been irradiated with UV to kill harmful bacteria, and it does not have any harmful effects. I suppose if they leave the UV light on and eat dinner under it for an extended period of time then they might get a sunburn.

            I wonder if it truly doesn’t have any harmful effects?

            I’ve heard a lot of studies about how America’s *gut Flora has changed in the last 50 years. How much of that is from having fewer microbiota ingested from natural food?

            I mean, it’s not like UV only kills the bad stuff right?
