How do you suffer from exposure to depleted uranium?
Depleted uranium is about 40% safer than natural uranium (yellowcake U3O8) which miners extract from the mines....
The Alpha particles emitted by DU is easily blocked 9by your skin) and the Beta Particles are blocked ( more penetrating than alpha radiation) is blocked by the special uniform army personell are wearing.....
The (by far) very dangerous and highly penetrating Gamma Rays emitted by DU (Depleted Uranium) is in extremely, and safe, ammounts for humans.....
So? How does DU affect you adversely?
Unless, of-course, you "fire" it and inhale the smokes with the Alpha particles......Or ingest some of the fragments......
Otherwise all studies so far have shown that DU is quite safe......
