"While seemingly inconspicuous – considering the mean size of a uranium particle is below one micron – individual inhalation of about 24 m3 a day results in an average lung intake of 0.432 milligrams over a month," Great Game India wrote. "This translates into 200 million particles per person in the area and along the plume's trajectory in the United Kingdom."
"Research in Iraq underscores the significant genetic and [carcinogenic] health effects of uranium particles. Considering findings in Fallujah, a 2010 study demonstrated a substantial increase in cancer and congenital malformations in babies – indicative of genetic damage following the use of uranium weapons in the 2003 Second Iraq War."
