In which case Foolestroupe the firing ranges where this type of ammunition is used would exhibit considerable signs of the contamination you describe - unfortunately after extensive environmental studies of those areas no such contamination exists.

Have you read the WHO Reports on the use of DU ammunition.

Please tell us what battles raged in or near centres of population in the South of Iraq during "Desert Storm" where the US or coalition forces fired DU munitions. I can think of none, but there again the 12.7mm chain-gun mounted on the Russian Mil-25 "Hind" helicopter gunships flown by the Iraqi's fires DU rounds, and they were used quite extensively in the South of iraq in the aftermath of Desert Storm. But it was only US DU ammunition that did the damage eh?
