Original Note:
Cancer has not been observed as a result of depleted uranium exposure. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/uranium/pathogenic_changes.html In theory, the increased risk of cancer is a fraction of that expected from background radiation. https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/properties.pdf Studies on the impact of depleted uranium rounds showed it had no clear impact on birth defects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3492088/
