That was the original thinking. Studies have since shown that DU
particles become small enough to become wind borne and have been found
up to 25 miles from the impact site.
Recent research suggests that the particles of DU
when pulverized by such actions a armor impacts are too large to be
retained in the human body for any appreciable time and will be
rejected. If so, there is little or no danger that DU will build up in
a human even with repeated exposures.
Also not true. The latest studies *have* found significant amounts of DU
retained in humans.
I'm interested in qualified scientific studies in this area. Have you
any citations?
