BAN DU WEAPONS

Depleted Uranium
Radioactive Waste Shot Into Iraq



When shot, as tank penetrators or bullets, it spreads microscopic radioactive dust, which when inhaled enters the 
bloodstream and lodges in all parts of the body, emitting radiation causing cancerous tumors, leukemia & grotesque birth defects.

DU  DUST is bad,
It blows around the land continuously, harming humans, animals & plants forever.  
It is radioactive for 4.5 billion years and also chemically toxic as a heavy metal, like lead, causing sickness.
 
DU DUST CAUSES CANCER & BIRTH DEFECTS
We must stop the use of DU by our armed forces in Iraq immediately & BAN DU WEAPONS internationally.
 
The indiscriminate harm to soldiers, civilians & the environments means the USE OF DU WEAPONS IS GENOCIDE & a crime against nature.
 
Depleted Uranium Poses Serious Health Threats!
Demand your elected officials to BAN the use of DU Weapons NOW!
           
 
   

Do you know what Hanford down winders and Iraqi children have in common? Radiation sickness like Gulf War syndrome, Balkan syndrome, Cancer and birth defects. These conditions are resulting from the impact of DU (Depleted Uranium) weapons on people who have been near a skirmish battle in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, or the Balkans.

We now know that the fine, aerosolized ceramic particles that make up Du dust can be inhaled and then can pass from the bloodstream into many parts of the body. Du dust has been accumulating in the environment since the 1990s in the lands where the US and British forces have been fighting.


Du is a very heavy metal with a low level of radiation. It is harmless when held and loaded in a tank penetrating shell. But when it hits its target and catches fire, the fine radioactive dust affects everyone and everything – Gis, Iraqi civilians, and the natural environment.


Citizens, physicians, and scientists from around the world met in the 2006 in Hiroshima, Japan to work together to ban DU usage. They urge individuals worldwide to inform themselves and to join together in small groups to persuade their governments to ban DU.
