Depleted Uranium link??

[Guest guest]

I recently read an article linking exposure to depleted uranium to

physical defect and neurological disorders in the offspring of the

person who was exposed. In case any of you are wondering, depleted

uranium is the substance used to strengthen armor on military

vehicles, and is also used in the ammunition used by the military,

particularly foreign militaries. My husband served in Iraq for the

year leading up to our daughters conception and was exposed to

depleted uranium on a daily basis. One of his primary jobs while in

Iraq was destroying enemy munitions, thereby vaporizing the depleted

uranium into small particulates easly absorbed. There is alot of

debate in the military community as to the dangers of depleted

uranium, and the VA is denying any long term side effects. However,

there have been studies done in Europe in which Iraq war vetrans that

were exibiting strange physical and mental ailments had dangerously

high levels of DU in their urine. I was just wondering if there is

anybody else out there who has possibly been exposed to DU and has a

child with apraxia or a similar neurological disorder.

Thanks!
