A review of the effects of uranium and depleted uranium exposure on reproduction and fetal development
@article{Arfsten2001ARO, title={A review of the effects of uranium and depleted uranium exposure on reproduction and fetal development}, author={D. Arfsten and K. Still and G. Ritchie}, journal={Toxicology and Industrial Health}, year={2001}, volume={17}, pages={180 - 191} }
Depleted uranium (DU) is used in armor-penetrating munitions, military vehicle armor, and aircraft, ship and missile counterweighting/ballasting, as well as in a number of other military and commercial applications. Recent combat applications of DU alloy [i.e., Persian Gulf War (PGW) and Kosovo peacekeeping objective] resulted in human acute exposure to DU dust, vapor or aerosol, as well as chronic exposure from tissue embedding of DU shrapnel fragments. DU alloy is 99.8% 238Uranium, and emits… CONTINUE READING
