From the publication:
DEPLETED URANIUM A scientific approach to the hazards of military use of depleted uranium Prof. Dr. Massimo Zucchetti 2009 Initiative of: Els de Groen, Dutch Member of the European Parliament www.elsdegroen.nl Introduction This book is intended as a short reference book concerning the Depleted Uranium (DU) question. It does not pretend to be complete, however reflects the studies that the author has made since 1999 about this argument. The first chapter is a sort of extended summary of the main facts concerning the DU question, plus an up-to-date report of the Italian case, a most peculiar one. It can be read independently from the third one, that tackles the Depleted Uranium question into more deep. The second chapter deals with a technical assessment of the composition and radioactive hazards of DU and it is mainly intended for experts. The fourth chapter is a review of the huge amount of evidence about the DU effects on Iraqi population, that unfortunately could not emerge on peer-reviewed international journals. The fifth chapter brings the conclusions. The series of pictures does not need any further comment. The author wishes to thank some beloved persons.
