You would have to be plumb crazy as a MAD COW to think even for a second that it is safe to have DU particles inside the lungs. For example, the National Lead Industries factory in Colonie, New York was forced to close in 1980 after uranium particles were found 26 miles downwind of the facility and DU was found in soil at levels 500 times higher than surrounding communities. At the time of closure, the plant was discharging DU at more than ten times the state limit. wise-uranium.org We refer to scientific measurements that have been made of the atmospheric wind-borne transport of uranium aerosols over distances up to 26 miles (42 km) from their sources. Stokes' well-known physical law helps to explain how airborne transport of DU particles can occur over large distances. wise-uranium.org More on Leonard A. Dietz 10/24/2005 Honoring Dr. Leonard Dietz Leonard A. Dietz, age 82, of Niskayuna, died October 24, 2005. Dr. Dietz was born in Manistee, Mich. and grew up there.

Speaking of MAD COWS, the British Government spent a decade trundling out scientific "experts" saying that there was no health threat from CJD. The reasons for these blatant lies were monetary and political. It was fairly obvious to anyone with a normal functioning brain that this was unlikely to be true, and it was all plain Government induced bullchit in the end. The deaths proved it. The current information available makes me believe it will be the same story with DU. seattlepi.nwsource.com
