What is depleted uranium (DU)?

16/02/15

For years and even recently many have been talking about impoverished uranium, addressing the issues often taking the concepts to extremes and proposing a reality that is not always congruent with the actual nature and danger of the material in question.

The international community has long been interested in the problem with studies and extensive testimonies in part collected on the web by the writer trying to provide any information that helps to understand on a real basis the actual nature of what we might call a threat of modern war (v.link).

The topic has been treated today in a very clear and simple way by Dr. Stefano Montanari who has been doing medical research since July 1972, also studying abroad in the fields of hemodialysis, cardiac surgery and vascular surgery in Sweden, the USA, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands.

A scholar who has also designed and perfected equipment and prosthetics in the fields of vascular surgery, cardiac surgery, cardiology and general surgery.

Together with his wife, Dr. Antonietta Gatti, he has been dealing with nanopathologies for years and since 2004 he has been scientific director of the Nanodiagnostics Laboratory (research in the nanopathological and environmental fields). He also runs a blog that deals with various topics (www.stefanomontanari.net) that deserves to be visited.

A scientist known and appreciated nationally and internationally who has been contributing for at least ten years to studies on the harmful effects on human health of Depleted Uranium (DU) and knowing how much I care about the problem, he wanted to publish his article in my blog and I am grateful to him for this. He proposed the problem in simple words (read article), proposing the problem with simple and clear words, as only those who are profoundly expert in a sector are able to do.

A dense exposition of scientific significance developed with the vision of a scientist who is profoundly aware of nanopathologies, above all as regards the sources polluting with ultrafine powders.

A thought expressed in a simple and clear way by Dr. Montanari which I believe deserves to be read and which is in addition to the ongoing initiatives carried out by the International Campaign to ban Depleted Uranium weapons. (http://www.bandepleteduranium.org/).
