Preface

In the course of the preparations for the Hague Appeal for Peace '99
conference, Laka decided to make a brochure about the use of depleted
uranium in conventional weaponry and its consequences. The idea was born
because of the short time reserved during the session for the presentation
of all details about depleted uranium (DU). Although the word "depleted
uranium" may suggest no harmful impact from radiation, this brochure will
clarify the real radiotoxic (and chemotoxic) properties of DU.

Laka asked several "insiders" to take part in the completion of the
brochure. Thanks to their efforts, we have been able to present
well-documented articles for activists, scientists, scholars and students to
share with them valuable information about the hazardous impact of DU
contamination and its consequences on human health and the environment.
Taking notice of the growing military use of DU, we must consider not only
the increased threats of radioactive battlefields but also the whole dirty
cycle in the uranium industry connected with the DU technology and its
impact on health and the environment in the surroundings of test areas and
in the uranium industry itself.

This brochure was completed thanks to Felicity Arbuthnot, Rosalie Bertell,
Ray Bristow, Peter Diehl, Dan Fahey, Daniel Robicheau, Campaign against DU
(CADU) and the Military Toxics Project. The contents of all the
contributions are under the responsibility of the authors.
