July 11, 2007

Ron Kathren's paper "Acute Toxicity of Uranium: "A Brief Review  with
Special Reference to Man" delivered today at the annual meeting of
the Health Physics Society in Portland, Oregon, (WAM-C.2) is must
reading for all the DU alarmists.

After almost 200 years of toxicological study, the best description
is still the one given by Gmelin in 1824: "a feeble poison". Ron's
review of the literature that includes human exposures to soluble
forms of uranium reveals that "no human is known to have died from
exposure to uranium." Also, the radioactivity of uranium is not
relevant to toxicity unless it is at least 15% enriched in U-235.
