Depleted Uranium Contamination Found in Urine 20 Years Later

The A to Z of Materials
October ?, 2007

Inhaled depleted uranium (DU) oxide aerosols are recognised as a 
distinct human health hazard and DU has been suggested to be responsible 
in part for illness in both military and civilian populations that may 
have been exposed.

University of Leicester geologist, Professor Randall R Parrish will be 
giving this message to the 119th annual meeting of the Geological 
Society of America at the Colorado Convention Center in Philadelphia on 
28 October 2007 at 10.05-10.25am.

In his talk entitled: 'Depleted uranium (DU): its environmental 
dispersion and human uptake' he will outline his research findings on a 
new method of tracing DU.

The issue has been the subject of investigations by the Royal Society 
(UK), the National Academy of Science (US) and other bodies, but studies 
of individuals who have been clearly exposed to environmental 
contamination are lacking.
