Depleted Uranium Harmless, Study Says

From Times Wire Reports

Depleted uranium used by NATO in armor-piercing weapons in Kosovo had no detectable effect on health, a European Union panel of experts concluded.

The findings concurred with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s own studies, which said there was no link between depleted uranium, a substance used for its penetrating power, and cancer among peacekeeping troops.

U.S. aircraft used munitions containing depleted uranium, a slightly radioactive heavy metal, in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
