Misinformation on depleted uranium in this DVD
by Robert Holloway
I have not seen this DVD and there may be some truthful information in it. However, I noted some misinformation in the description of it. It alleges that Iraqi children have been exposed to radiation from depleted uranium. There is no proof for such an assertion and in fact the fear of radiation from various sources is much greater in many cases than the actual danger. For example, it has been estimated that there were more than 100,000 abortions in Europe due to fear of Chernobyl radiation. Best estimated from reliable scientific sources as that those were needless abortions and that the dose from Chernobyl was not sufficient to cause birth defects. So it is clear that there were approximately 100,000 needless deaths due to unjustified fear. By the way, I make my living in the field of radiation safety.
Radiation: A Slow Death Summary
The consequences of nuclear warfare, as well as the general effects of atmospheric radiation, are explored through the eyes of its victims in this compelling and unsettling documentary. Originally, the Japanese word "hibakusha" was used to refer to the survivors of the atomic bomb. Here, the director goes back to its literal meaning, "victim of radiation" to include new generations of sufferers who have emerged globally. This film documents the lives of these sufferers including Iraqi children irradiated by the use of depleted uranium ammunition during the Gulf War, American farmers living near the Hanford plutonium factory in Washington state, and survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Though separated by time and space, their common peril delivers a strong message to the contemporary world.
