The military use of depleted uranium (Uranium is a naturally occurring heavy metal which is poisonous and weakly radioactive. Natural uranium is a mixture of three different forms of the chemical element) has generated considerable public controversy. DU is a chemically toxic and weakly radioactive substance. Its use on a battlefield can lead to it being spread over a wide area, and many have claimed that this has adverse health effects for those on the battlefield and those living or returning to live in an area where DU munitions have been deployed. In response to these concerns, the Royal Society convened an independent expert working group in 2000 to review the present state of scientific knowledge on the subject. The working group published reports in 2001 and 2002.
I think that this is bad because if the army or military keep on using it will get hurt and then because of that we could have a little crises in our hands.
