[ RadSafe ] Salsman's citation for Basrah cancers, and more uranium trioxide gas proof

[James Salsman]

I'm sorry, the URL in my earlier message below is for congenital
malformations (birth defects).  The original citations for the Basra
cancers are here:

http://www.irak.be/ned/archief/Depleted%20Uranium_bestanden/DEPLETED%20URANIUM-1-%20INCIDENCE.htm

and:

http://www.irak.be/ned/archief/Depleted%20Uranium_bestanden/DEPLETED%20URANIUM-3-%20INCIDENCE.htm

The only thing that varies in those three URLs is the digit in between hyphens.

In Carter, R.F. and K. Stewart (1970) "On the oxide fume formed by the
combustion of plutonium and uranium" Inhaled Particles 2:819-38 (PMID
5527739) is at:
  http://www.bovik.org/du/CarterStewart.pdf
--please see section (f) on page 836, which indicates that about half
of burning uranium goes into a gaseous vapor fume, instead of the
aerosol particulates which have thus far been the only portion
measured.

Volatility of uranium trioxide (a/k/a uranyl oxide) gas:

--the plotted data points include those from Alexander (2005):
  http://www.bovik.org/du/Alexander2005.pdf
and another Ackermann et al. (1956):
  http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1743156
and the DOF-adjusted R^2 corresponds to the 95% confidence interval shown.

For the burning temperature of the shower-of-sparks which is the
result of DU munitions use on hard targets, please see:

in particular figures four and six on page 392:
