Comment on New Study Documents Depleted Uranium Impacts on Children in Iraqparent

If you live a kilometer downwind from place where an A-10 smashed some iraqi tanks with DU ammunition, you have clear source of exposure.

Sure, depending on how well the extremely dense (1.7x the density of lead, remember?) dust remains airborne. Also, the dust concentration is likely to be so low that far away that it's extremely low exposure.

Don't lose sight of the fact that the article provides zero factual evidence that DU caused those deformities. It's strictly guilt through association.
