BBC News Wednesday, 27 March, 2002, 13:11 GMT Yugoslavia contaminated by DU dust The United Nations has found widespread low-level contamination of depleted uranium in Yugoslavia, three years after extensive bombing by Nato. UN scientists said that the levels do not pose a direct threat to human health but there are concerns about a potential risk of contamination of water sources by the ammunition tips made out of depleted uranium. [No threat to human health unless people drink the water, that is.] They expressed surprise that depleted uranium dust was still found in the air, two years after the conflict had ended. The UN urged the Yugoslav authorities to fence off and monitor the affected sites. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
