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.

This is someting I've been trying to follow. Can you offer a poiner to
a study or a sory about it?

Failing that, do you know how long between exposure and measuring the
DU in the system?

I don't know if it is really an anology to DU Tank rounds/Ammunition,but
I know SABOT Tank rounds create a jet flame like a very hot cutting
torch just before they strike the side of a Tank.That creates a hole in
the side of the Tank for the round,which is about the same size as a
silver dollar,to enter the Tank and cause all kinds of damage.I am not
an expert on DU Tank Ammunition and other types of DU Ammunition because
that didn't exist when I went to Armor Ammunition School at Fort
Knox,Kentucky in 1963.An article says DU Ammunition self sharpens and
gets very hot upon impact with whatever.There are vapors created and
that stuff gets inside of peoples bodies.

Depleted Uranium Tank Ammunition sharpens upon impact and also self
ignites (very high heat) causing atomized particles which carry far and
wide in the air and that stuff gets into body tissues and body organs
and lungs.There are some Depleted Uranium contaminated Tanks in Kansas
sitting out in open areas and kids have been playing on those Tanks.I
think it was at www.rense.com (scroll down the middle isle at
rense.com) where I read an article about that earlier this week.

You descrbe a pyrophoric reaction. I knwo about it. However, as I've
already said, teh research I've seen suggests that it does not atomize.
That the partilces that do result do get into lungs and other organs,
but are too large to be retained.

www.devilfinder.com What happens upon impact of depleted uranium
tank shells?

You should get in touch with Dr.Joyce Riley.She can tell you all about
depleted uranium.

The original subject was how the DU gets from our bullets buried deep
in the sands of the desert to the innards of humans. He wanted to know
how long it takes from the bullet hitting the sand to the DU appearing
in some humans' innards. You listed an article whose title alone tells
us it's not relevant.

As simply as I can phrase the question: how does the DU get from the
bullet deep in the sand of Iraq to the innards of humans?
