Though depleted, DU found in a certain type of tank rounds have
some residual radioactivity which can cause damage to the DNA
within our cells. These normal cells will turn cancerous and the
person develops cancer. However if the DNA within the sex
cells(sperm cells and ova) is damaged by this radioactivity, the
child conceive with these damaged sex cells will suffer genetic
defects.
I am aware that vaccine for anthrax or some other biological weapon
is given to the US troops in Gulf War 1. This is the same vaccine
which some claims to cause the Gulf War syndrome, i didn't heard
anything about the DU except that Iraqi civilians are affected by
the DU rounds after it is fired.
Can anyone confirm whether i got the facts right,please. Thanks.
