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 Depleted Uranium and the Environment Introduction | News | Information | Resources | Affiliate | Action | Links | Contact Page last updated: May 26, 2005 |
