If DU is essentially equivalent to naturally occuring uranium in regards to health concerns, and that is to say essentially equivalent to the health concerns of lead (this all a large assumption based primarily on U.S. military reports and the studies they approve) - it seems to me that a war zone would have comparable doses of "naturally" occuring DU as say, a lead paint factory has doses of "naturally" occuring lead. It's one thing to state that DU is harmless when you view certain quantities on a global scale. It's quite another to state it is harmless when you view those same quantities on a localized scale like a war zone.
So maybe the people that suggest DU is harmless to civilians in a war zone need to move their families to the nearest lead paint factory to demonstrate their belief.
