The point is not important. You could just as easily say nothing is artificial and therefore there can be no artificially ccreated consequences.
The eco-system is not simply everything that exists. There is an eco-system in my living room. Put 100lbs of DU in my living room and you will destroy the eco-system. Whether DU is naturally occuring, manufactured in a lab or delivered to us from another dimension is irrelevant to the question of whether it has negative properties. DU is not natural to any eco-system other than one which already includes DU particles of similar quantity - and even then, to double the quantity is to alter the eco-system. DU did not come
from the eco-system of Iraq, circa 2004 - it was introduced.
