Um no, Depleted Uranium is not naturally present in any ecosystem.
What about Doug Rokke in the article posted above? He only came into contact with DU in a clean-up capacity and now "suffers from cataracts, kidney damage, and a disease called RADS -- a lung-destroying malady caused by inhaling hazardous substances over short periods." He was told by his superiors that they needed him to help mitigate an "agent orange for the 90s."
If you can't deal with even-handed journalism, like the article I posted, which shows that yes, DU poses a significant health threat then you may as well stick your head back in the sand like Dragonlich and Ustwo. Ignoring it will not make this problem go away.
BTW Lebell or other mods - you censored the wrong picture! There is still a photo of a child while you deleted a photo of an adult examining a destroyed tank! I'll edit it though--
