Wtf is up with all these Uranium glassware posts? A little help from the gallery

Why does everyone have uranium shit all of a sudden!

The fact some was made with a yellow hue that looked greasy like vasaline?

Yeah. It comes in other colors as well. Like red and a creamy white color.

Do you want cancer? Cause that's how you get cancer.
minipancho94
They are safe to own, but eating of them is still risky considering that your skin isn't Gin gonna protect you from the inside.
mybrothersmario
also the fact that broken glass is sharp.
Thor561
The only people that would've possibly gotten cancer from these are the ones who produced them, and they all dead anyway.
arkenstein
No. Due to the long half life, the specific radioactivity of Uranium is 12440 kBq/kg. As only up to 2% of the glass is U, (1)
elinoodlesoup
well, i have no idea what this means, but you seemed confident in saying it... so i believe you?
arkenstein
the radioactivity from the K in your body with 4 kBq is probably higher. But if you eat the glass, instead of eating off it...
yallgotanymoredankmemes
You ded
LTareyouserious
SCIENCE!
IBetThatHurts
Actually about 3% for the majority of uranium glass. But yeah it is safe.
Sklumlord
*wipes the cum off the screen* wow.. that was.. amazing..
IAmTheLizardKingICanDoAnything
Just a question op, did you buy this? Been looking for it in belgium, hard tot find and pretty expensive. Beautiful set!
mo53sz
Plenty on Aussie ebay for what I would consider a reasonable price. However I am neither a collector of glassware or uranium glassware.
thiscannotpossiblygowrong
You're looking for uranium? Found the ISIS member!
EnergyFiend
There's a lot out there that's not expensive antiques (nor valuable).http://glowinc.com/glow-in-the-dark/glow-glass.aspx
veryunusualusername
Start looking at second hand websites. I just checked some out in The Netherlands and found quite a lot.
IAmTheLizardKingICanDoAnything
I found a lot of individual pieces, like vases, but no real dining sets in Belgium.. Thanks for the tip!
Krullie
Hey, if you live in Flanders you can go to the flea market in Kemmel (in September), a huge flea market. maybe with some luck...
IAmTheLizardKingICanDoAnything
Zal ik zeker eens proberen, bedankt :D
Krullie
Zonet op Kapaza ook een paar setjes zien staan! ;-)
IBetThatHurts
Start checking thrift stores and yard sales. Bring a uv(blacklight) flashlight with you. Alot of people sell it without knowing what it is.
xLirael
Yeah, I would have assumed it was just Depression glass. UV light is a good idea.

Yeah, taking a UV light to a thrift store is a great idea.

Actually I had a game that came with a tiny flashlight type keychain, but it was a UV flash light (so they do exist very small)

And suddenly I want to donate all of my clothes and bedding to a thrift store.
jitspoe
But, hell, it was 99 cents!
IBetThatHurts
Well you will probably see plenty of things glow that aren't uranium, but at least you'll know what not to touch.
AsianDad
That's just ectoplasm. No worries! Tis a Feature.

FYI: The glowing is only visible with a black light and the glass is negligibly radioactive... - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_glass
WiFiChaser
This looks more like tritium than uranium
TheBreaux
Neat
wardenda
tirusr
"although some 20th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium" not all are completely safe but most. ^^
vindik8or
Further more uranium is an alpha emitter, which means its radiation can be blocked by dead skin cells. It's only dangerous when ingested.
TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsTheBabyAteMyDingo
Imagine the awesome dinner parties.
FakePlasticTreehugger
You get a similar glow when shining a blacklight on my bedspread.
Mezeral
zing!
IalwaysladyfaptoTomHardy
I still wouldnt want it near me. Negligible or not.
minipancho94
Actually it's still unsafe to eat from. The food will be irradiated by it and can easily cause cancer. Safe to look at though.
SgtLemming
minipancho94
radioactive particles that they are not normally exposed to 3/3 ill dig up sources later if you demand them.
DasOgre
You are aware we are blasted with radiation every moment of every day, right?
minipancho94
yes, i also know that there are different type of radiation and your skin blocks some types. also a source of radiation inside you isnt good
minipancho94
a ton of sources ive heard say its not safe to eat off of them as the food becomes irradiated with particles that are normally blocked 1/2
SgtLemming
means provide a source. You saying "a ton of sources" is not providing a source.
minipancho94
so not sure how different it is from fiesta ware but, http://chemistry.about.com/od/nuclearchemistry/fl/How-Radioactive-Is-Fiesta-Ware.htm
minipancho94
theres one source. im assuming that those alpha particles are also being emitted by this glassware, and can contaminate food.
minipancho94
by your skin, so since its going in your stomach, the minor radiation not only directly affects your internal organs, but exposes them 2/3
CRAIGEWRATH
What does negligibly mean?
OnAnAdventure
It means OP can't spell.
IAmAce
Little enough that the amount can be disregarded

Well, not thaat negligible.
magisch
A shit ton of things are radioactive. Like sedementary rock in mountainous regions. The amound of radiation though is so minimal it does [1]
magisch
[2] nothing to you because its a drop in the ocean compared to what you get every day anyways.

Also bananas and people.

according to the wiki, barely above background radiation levels.

turkeyfarmer32
These types of glass are 2-25% uranium by volume weight. With basic shielding, radiation exposure is lower. Long term prob might ensue
ZacMuerte
as in it really won't matter. as in Grand Central Station is radioactive, but negligibly, so it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
