There was a recent bruhaha by the NATO troops in the Balkans that they were
being exposed to radiation by entering vehicles destroyed by DU AP
projectiles. Seems Italian troops had a high rate of cancer. Sort of a
"Gulf War Syndrome" thing.

It has been use in some aircraft applications to counter weight the ends of
control surfaces etc. I ask the lead safety engineer what he knew . It still
contains some toxins even in the so called depleted stage. The primary
danger is grinding it and inhaling the dust particles. It is also used for
projectiles as it is hard enough to penetrate most steels.
