The Problem
NORM – Radioactive Petroleum Sludge
The primary health risk of concern when dealing with NORM, is one of its constituents, Radium, which is a known cancer-causing substance. Exposure to high levels of radium can lead to higher chances of bone, liver and breast cancer.
Radium corrodes in water to become radium hydroxide (RaOH), which is the most soluble of all the hydroxides of the alkali earth metals. It is formed when radium reacts with water (2Ra + 2H2O → 2RaOH + H2↑).
Radium has no smell or taste.
