interforze del Salto di Quirra di Perdasdefogu", an experimental
Firing Range in Sardinia, traces of caesium 137. In that Firing Range
there are signs which alert on radioactive contamination. In a little
town near the F.R., there were 10 cancer deaths out of a population
of 150. In the last years we saw children deformities: i.e. in 1988
out of 15 children born in another small town near the F.I. there
were 5 with congenital abnormalities. They are looking for a team
of volunteers to monitor possible presence of depleted uranium in
the area. They think that it is possible to find other firing ranges
here in Italy (and maybe in Europe) that leak contamination. Any suggestions
would be very welcome. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ From CADU News 10: Spring 2002 Read more articles about Other Countries Affected by Depleted Uranium Introduction | News | Information | Resources | Affiliate | Action | Links | Contact Page last updated: January 28, 2003 |
