Original Note:
DU or any other specific toxin hasn't been proven as the main cause for these population-scale health issues. The scale of pollution in the Middle East wars far exceeds the toxic potential of DU and experts generally assume burn pits as the main source of hazardous toxins. https://thebulletin.org/2020/07/war-and-the-environment/ https://www.militarytimes.com/news/burn-pits/2022/03/29/what-are-military-burn-pits-and-why-are-veterans-worried-about-them/
