Depleted uranium from Gulf War 2 spread across Europe and even reached Britain within 9 days.
New Green Audit report
Depleted uranium from Gulf War 2 "Shock and Awe" bombing in 2003 spread across Europe and reached Britain within 9 days.
This is fresh evidence that uranium armour piercing weaponry is illegal on account of its indiscriminate effects.
European
Biology and Bioelectromagnetics has published a paper: Did the use of
Uranium weapons in Gulf War 2 result in contamination of Europe?
Evidence from the measurements of the Atomic Weapons Establishment,
Aldermaston, Berkshire, U K. Chris Busby, Saoirse Morgan. Occasional
Paper 2006/1, January 2006 Aberystwyth: Green Audit
Abstract
Uranium
weapons have been increasingly employed in battle action since their
first use by the U S and U K forces in the Persian Gulf War in 19 91.
Since then they have been used in the Balkans in the late 19 90s, then
Kosovo in 2000, probably in Afghanistan in 2002 and then also in the
2nd Gulf War (GulfWar 2) in March and April 2003. On impact, uranium
penetrators burn fiercely to give an aerosol of sub micron diameter
oxide particles which are largely insoluble and remain in the
environment for many years. There is considerable public and scientific
concern that these radioactive particles may remain suspended for long
periods, or may become resuspended and are therefore available for
inhalation by non combatants at some distance from the point of impact.
Little research seems to have been carried out on the distance
travelled by the uranium aerosols. The military maintain that the
uranium remains near the point of impact, and the Royal Society report
(2002) also states that the material does not travel more than some
tens of metres. On the other hand, measurements of uranium in local
populations in Kosovo some nine months after the use of uranium weapons
all tested positive for depleted uranium in urine (Priest 2004) and The
United Nations (U N E P) found uranium particles in air filters in
Bosnia some years after its use. The question of the dispersion of
uranium aerosols from the battlefield is of significant legal interest,
since if a radioactive weapon resulted in the general contamination of
the public in the country of deployment or elsewhere, the weapon would
be classifiable as one of indiscriminate effect. There is now conceded
to be no safe level of exposure to radiation. Further, there are major
scientific questions over the risk models used to assess the health
effects of uranium particle exposure from weapons use. In addition
there is evidence of ill health in many of those exposed to uranium
particles from Gulf veterans to the population of Iraq. In this paper
we examine the trend in uranium shown by the measurements made on high
volume air sampler filter systems deployed by the Atomic Weapons
Establishment (A W E) Aldermaston Berkshire U K. A W E have been
routinely monitoring uranium in air since the early 1990s but since
2000 have carried out filter determinations from high volume air
samplers (H V A S) every two weeks. They were required to set up these
monitors in the late 1980s following the discovery of a child leukaemia
cluster near the plant. There are monitors onsite but they also deploy
them at various other sites some 15km distance from the plant. We have
obtained their results using the Freedom of Information Act.
Examination of the trends in uranium reported here show that there was
a statistically significant increase in uranium in all the filters
beginning at the start of GulfWar 2 and ending when it ended. Levels in
the town of Reading exceeded the Environment Agency Reporting threshold
of 1000 nano Becquerrel per cubic meter twice during the period. We
report the weather conditions at the time and show that over the period
there was a consistent flow of air from Iraq northwards and that the U
K was in the centre of a anticyclone which drew air in from the south
and from the south east. On the basis of the mean increase in uranium
in air of about 500 nano Becquerrel per cubic meter we use respiration
data on standard man to calculate that each person in the area inhaled
some 23 million uranium particles of diameter 0.25 microns. We suggest
that health data, particularly birth data be examined for possible
effects from this exposure. As far as we know, this is the first
evidence that uranium aerosols from battle use have been shown to
travel so far.

Prologics note: people have underestimated the depleted uranium contamination.
We
now know the radiation from Iraq even reached Europe and Britain and
know that people are denying the measurement results and try to censor
people, people where not allowed to take pictures in Iraq for example.
Stop demonstrating: peace activists are energy weapon targets .
If you are not with me you are against me.
Everything you did was logged since the 19 70s.
Fucking
up the people doing these disgusting things is illegal but it seems the
only way to get to the depleted uranium dropping skull digging elite to
end their insanity. Get the ones on top at any price. You can't fool
some people sometimes and you can't fool all the people all the time.
We
will never forgive the sick devil worshipping american psycho
president, that sick skull digging sect member, because that president
is responsible and for the depleted uranium war crime that is now
causing birth defects in people in Europe and even Great Britain.
Offspring of the sick american insurgents will also have birth defects
and the americans where also contaminated, thank God.
The
souls of the people lying about this horrible crime will be thrown in
the bottomless pit for all eternity and the depleted uranium
contamination will be around millions of years if not cleaned up
(contamination levels have been measured).
Nuclear energy is more expensive and dirtier than all other forms of energy.
Do you know the cost of storing depleted uranium?

UK radiation jump blamed on Iraq shells
Mark Gould and Jon Ungoed-Thomas
RADIATION
detectors in Britain recorded a fourfold increase in uranium levels in
the atmosphere after the “shock and awe” bombing campaign against Iraq,
according to a report.
Environmental
scientists who uncovered the figures through freedom of information
laws say it is evidence that depleted uranium from the shells was
carried by wind currents to Britain.
Government
officials, however, say the sharp rise in uranium detected by radiation
monitors in Berkshire was a coincidence and probably came from local
sources.
The
results from testing stations at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (A W
E) in Aldermaston and four other stations within a 10-mile radius were
obtained by Chris Busby, of Liverpool University’s department of human
anatomy and cell biology.
Each
detector recorded a significant rise in uranium levels during the Gulf
war bombing campaign in March 2003. The reading from a park in Reading
was high enough for the Environment Agency to be alerted.
Busby,
who has advised the government on radiation and is a founder of Green
Audit, the environmental consultancy, believes “uranium aerosols” from
Iraq were widely dispersed in the atmosphere and blown across Europe.
“This
research shows that rather than remaining near the target as claimed by
the military, depleted uranium weapons contaminate both locals and
whole populations hundreds to thousands of miles away,” he said.
The
Ministry of Defence (M o D) countered that it was “unfeasible” depleted
uranium could have travelled so far. Radiation experts also said that
other environmental sources were more likely to blame.
The
“shock and awe” campaign was one of the most devastating assaults in
modern warfare. In the first 24-hour period more than 1,500 bombs and
missiles were dropped on Baghdad.
During
the conflict A 10 “tankbuster” planes — which use munitions containing
depleted uranium — fired 300,000 rounds. The substance — dubbed a
“silver bullet” because of its ability to pierce heavy tank armour — is
controversial because of its potential effect on human health. Critics
say it is chemically toxic and can cause cancer, and Iraqi doctors
reported a marked rise in cancer cases after it was used in the first
Gulf conflict.
The
American and British governments say depleted uranium is relatively
harmless, however. The Royal Society, the U K’s academy of science, has
also said the risk from depleted uranium is “very low” for soldiers and
people in a conflict zone.
Busby’s
report shows that within nine days of the start of the Iraq war on
March 19, 2003, higher levels of uranium were picked up on five sites
in Berkshire. On two occasions, levels exceeded the threshold at which
the Environment Agency must be informed, though within safety limits.
The report says weather conditions over the war period showed a
consistent flow of air from Iraq northwards.
Brian
Spratt, who chaired the Royal Society’s report, cast doubt on depleted
uranium as a source but said it could have come from natural uranium in
the massive amounts of soil kicked up by shock and awe.
Other
experts said local environmental sources, such as a power station, were
more likely at fault. The Environment Agency said detectors at other
sites did not record a similar increase, which suggested a local
source.
A
M o D spokesman said the uranium was of a “natural origin” and there
was no evidence that depleted uranium had reached Britain from Iraq.

Note:
What is strange is that the measured levels in the town of Reading
exceeded the Environment Agency Reporting threshold of 1000 nano
Becquerrel per cubic meter twice during the period and nobody wonders
why and what caused it.
Becquerrel is not even mentioned in the above Sunday Times article.
Now
I know we are sitting in the depleted uranium contamination from Iraq
in Europe and Britain I will treat the sick devil worshippers totally
differently. I hope you get a life one if you are a normal police
officer.
I
assumed that not all cops would be the psychotic lying sons of bitches
the police officer Sikkink in the Bijlmer Amsterdam is. Maybe I should
not have done that. Many police officers died of cancer Tetra, called C
2000 in Europe (Cancer 2000).
As
soon as I found out and red about the depleted uranium war crime in
Iraq I realized the nuclear contamination would travel to other
countries and will continue to do so for a long time.
Depleted Uranium particles are not even visible to the naked eye.
Gulf stream 5 was used to kidnap people. A small cancer plane.
People
do not know the norm for air quality the E U made, called P M 10, is
being transgressed in nearly every major European city. The P M 10 norm
is a bad norm because even if the standard of P M 10 would be met lots
of people would still die of cancer if this E U norm would be met and
kept, but it is not.
One micro particle can potentially give cancer.
See 999prologic's blog for more details on how to protect yourself and especially american kids.
We are against cancer cell phones should be banned and destroy it (em pound).
We are against the war and for peace.
We
are against genetically altered foods (see gen-tomato) and genetically
engineered foods must be labelled as such (for example Calvé Peanut
Butter).
We are also against implanting electrodes in human brains without the persons consent in Dulce New Mexico.
where is the american press?

THE OLYMPIAN
South
Sound military veterans have urged state lawmakers to authorize tests
of returning Washington National Guard soldiers for exposure to
depleted uranium used in some armor-piercing munitions in Iraq.
Depleted
uranium was used for munitions in the Gulf War and to better armor some
Abrams tanks. Gases given off by the firing of the ammunition have been
said to create a mist or fog of radioactive material that can be
inhaled and absorbed into the body, where bone, lymph, liver and other
tissues store it.
Briefings
to legislators describe the depleted uranium used in the munitions as
coming from the leftover material when radioactive isotopes are removed
from uranium for use in nuclear fuel.
Activists
cite higher cancer rates in Europe's Balkan war zones after uranium-238
enhanced munitions were used there in the early 1990s. They also cite
anecdotal reports of soldiers exposed to the material who now suffer
everything from headaches to chronic upper respiratory illnesses, heart
attacks, chronic muscle aches and chronic diarrhea.
"Depleted
uranium ? we're very fearful it's going to be the Agent Orange of this
generation," said Jerry Muchmore, a Democratic Party activist from
Thurston County who served more than 20 years in the service, in
testimony last week before a Senate committee. "We really want to
support our veterans. We'd like to see them tested."
Depleted
uranium particles even pass through gasmasks, so people would need
scuba gear (self contained underwater breating apparatus, a bottle
filled with clean air), a respirator to protect themselves against the
D U particles which pass through gas masks.
There
is no way to protect ourselves against the Depleted Uranium particles
which spread all over Europe and contaminate the planet for the next 40
million years.
Drink
a lot of lemon juice to get depleted uranium out of your system, out of
your body, and use baking soda to wash Depleted Uranium out of clothes.
Regulators.
