Uranium in urine of Kosovo soldiers

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@HOTMAIL.COM>]

A preliminary and brief message was released last week (four sentences from 

TT - a major Swedish news agency) regarding uranium content in urine of 

Swedish soldiers who have been in Kosovo. The bottom line was that the 

uranium concentrations were four times _lower_ (minus 75 %) after the 

soldiers had returned to Sweden. The finding was attributed to the higher 

levels of natural uranium in Swedish drinking water.



This leaves a lot of questions regarding residence time in Kosovo, Swedish 

origin, statistics and so on. A full report is expected later this fall (at 

least one of the Radsafers members is involved so I am sure that we can get 

more details later on).



If there is anything essential to correct or clarify at this stage I would 

welcome such comments.
