The group will call for more research to give better estimates of levels of DU particles produced by exploding weapons using "realistic test firing" into heavy armour tanks.
The pattern of secondary dispersal of DU particles is another outstanding question.
Once inhaled, DU particles <5 μm can lodge deep in the lung in alveoli and can be transported by macrophages to the lymph tissues.
CD4+ T cells are more resistant than macrophages, which may be because macrophages can actively engulf DU particles (Kalinich et al. 2002), but CD4+ T cells do not.
While there is no clear basis for estimating the number of people who have been breathing and ingesting food and water in areas contaminated with aerosolized DU particles, the ever-expanding exposure of humans and the environment to DU particles, several micrometer and smaller, mobile and inhalable, necessitates a sense of urgency to better understand this hazard.
These findings confirm ongoing bioavailability of soluble uranyl ions which, as the dissolution product of internal DU particles, migrate from the initial point of entry into the human body and are eventually, at least partially, excreted in urine.
