Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the use of ammunition containing Depleted Uranium (DU) during the Gulf War in 1991 and in the Balkans in the nineties, a controversy emerged in the public opinion on the alleged effects of DU on man's health and on the environment. Official reports, mainly of military origin, are strongly questioned in the public opinion, being often interpreted as a justification or part of a cover-up. This controversy reached its peak towards the end of the year 2000, when DU was held responsible for the incidence of leukemia in soldiers of the Italian peace-keeping force. Having in mind how difficult it is to get scientific facts across to the general public and how strong a distrust there is against official statements, particularly when radioactivity is involved, this report summarizes the present state of knowledge about the effects of DU on man and environment. It bases on a comprehensive re-examination and critical review of the scientific literature, in particular the medical literature and reflects the authors' collective experience and expertise.

Download or read book THE CANCER PROJECTILE written by Dr. Srdan Aleksic and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book once again reminds of the tragic fate of the Serbian people during the NATO aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999. Also, lawyer Dr. Sran Aleksi talks about his legal fight against NATO and against the use of depleted uranium ammunition. A very important segment is the use of ammunition with depleted uranium, as well as the presentation of the consequences of using ammunition with depleted uranium. Due to the far-reaching and long-lasting consequences caused by NATO's aggression in 1999, it is necessary that everyone from their domain contributes to the fight for the truth to come to the surface, for the citizens of the Republic of Serbia to receive compensation for all the damage that NATO has caused. In other words, the book indicates that it is necessary for all those who were affected by depleted uranium to receive monetary compensation. Also, it is necessary to clean our country from undegraded depleted uranium. In particular, we should bear in mind the huge amount of depleted uranium that NATO dumped on the soil of the then FR Yugoslavia. Some analyzes indicate that the amount is greater than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Certainly, the consequences can be remedied in such a way that those who caused the damage will open hospitals where people will be treated with the most modern methods, using the most modern equipment, where the quality of life of people suffering from cancer will be improved as much as possible. Justice must lead to the fact that all the countries that participated in the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia correct the eco-catastrophe that they caused not only to Serbia but to all of humanity. A special segment of the book is the practice of Italian courts. In the end, we can say that the focus of the entire book is man and man's destiny, looking at it from the point of view of good, but also from the point of view of evil. A person fights and hopes while he is alive, this is exactly the case with all the victims of depleted uranium ammunition, who fight their hardest battles every day, they fight, but they also pray, because it seems that only God has not forgotten about those people.

Download or read book Depleted Uranium in Bosnia and Herzegovina written by United Nations Environment Programme and published by United Nations Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depleted uranium (DU) ammunition was used in the years 1994-95 during the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Following on from previous UNEP field studies in Kosovo (2001, ISBN 0119869667) and in Serbia and Montenegro (2002, ISBN 9280721461), this report assesses the presence and extent of DU contamination in 14 sites investigated in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the corresponding risks to the environment, and possible mitigating actions. DU could easily be found at three of the sites investigated, confirmed by the physical presence of penetrators and jackets, as well as by soil, bio-indicator and air samples. For the first time in UNEP's studies of DU contamination in the Balkans, DU was also found in drinking water samples, albeit at extremely low levels, as well as in air samples taken from buildings currently in use. The report recommends precautionary decontamination and clean-up measures. Given the remaining scientific uncertainties on the long-term behaviour of DU in the natural environment, it calls for further studies to be done in other regions where DU ammunition has been used.
