Sources and exposure to Thorium:
Rocks, soil, water, plants, ceramics, gas lantern mantles, metals in the aerospace industry and nuclear reactors reactions, fuel for nuclear energy and mining.
When rocks containing thorium break down by wind and water, the thorium becomes part of the soil. In most soils, thorium will attach strongly to the soil, which prevents it from moving into the groundwater.
Windblown dust and volcanic eruptions are natural sources of thorium in the air. Thorium can move through the air and settle out onto the ground or in water. The amount of thorium found in water is generally very low. Any thorium that is in water will usually be found in the sediment at the bottom.
Because thorium is found naturally on earth, everyone is exposed to small amounts in air, water, and food.
You may be exposed to higher levels of thorium if you live near or work at facilities where uranium, phosphate, or tin ore are processed. Also, living near a radioactive waste disposal site or a place where soil levels of thorium are high may increase your risk of exposure.
Nutrient interactions:
unknown
Physiological effects:
Th can damage chromosomes.
Clinical significance:
Exposure may lead to increased risk of certain cancers including gallbladder, liver, and leukemia, as well as cirrhosis. Inhaled Th (mainly among workers exposed to Th dus) can cause lung damage many years after being exposed.

What Healthmatters Members Are Saying
I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.

What fantastic service and great, easy-to-follow layouts! I love your website; it makes it so helpful to see patterns in my health data. It's truly a pleasure to use. I only wish the NHS was as organized and quick as Healthmatters.io. You've set a new standard for health tracking!
