Kosovo - DU ammunition

[Franz Schoenhofer <schoenho@via.at>]

RADSAFErs,

I wonder whether anyone knows an article about the use and (not existing)
health effects of DU ammunition used in the Kosovo war. It should be not
too long (two to three pages) and summarize the knowledge from a scientific
point of view. Best would be some statement from a neutral body like the
IAEA (but I could not find something from the IAEA yet). Furthermore is
should be easily retrievable, best in electronic form.

We want to have a contribution on that topic in the Journal of the Austrian
Radiation Protection Society, because of wide-spread interest. The source
will be cited if so wanted.

Thank you!

Franz
