Depleted uranium

Depleted Uranium (DU) is a waste product of nuclear weapon production and nuclear power. It is used to make armor piercing missiles (exploiting Uranium's extreme density). It aerosolises into a fine powder on impact, effectively toxifying the environment in which it is used. The health effects of such pollution are disputed. Dr. Chris Busby has been a vocal critic of the official narrative that such pollution has negligible impact on human health.
