Heh, yeah. People sort of reflexively back away from the china cabinet. The toxicity of uranium is rather like lead: big heavy atom with lots of bonding available but really slow to move. But no one cowers from leaded crystal (except perhaps the State of California).
- airhead969 5y agoThe State of California can bite my grandparents' vintage leaded crystal decanters without the Jameo or Glenlivet 12. Edit: lead.. mmm. Yeah, I probably should only use them to serve, rather than store, to prevent bottle-chuggers. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/it-dangerous-store-alcoholic-beverages-decanters-made-lead-crystal https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/it-dangerous-store-alcohol... Also, wash your hands like after leaded soldering when handling the exteriors of alcoholic beverage containers: https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-06-28/study-glass-alcohol-bottles-contain-harmful-levels-of-lead-cadmium https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-06-2...
