DU weapons in 2001-2002

PREFACE

This Report is based on analysis of public domain sources on the Internet, published
news reports and correspondence concerning known and suspected Depleted Uranium (DU)
weapons collected from January 2001 to date.

It is designed for on-line viewing (as well as printing) so that readers and researchers
can use Internet links to check original sources, and to locate other Internet resources
specialising in the health or environmental effects of DU. Some Internet pages
referring to DU or hard target guided weapons have been changed or withdrawn from
public access since they were first located. This is usually due to website re-design
or sometimes to tighter public access controls.

The report raises public policy questions and offers facts and sources as briefing
materials for social, medical, environmental, legal and political debate and research.
It concerns health and safety risk assessments for employers with civilian or military
personnel in Afghanistan.
