The Coalition to
Ban
Depleted Uranium is an association of representatives from various
local
progressive, peace and antiwar groups from the New York City /
Westchester County area. The groups mission is to educate the public on
the widespread use and damaging effects of depleted uranium (DU), a
waste
product of uranium processing, which is manufactured into weapons and
other materials used by U.S troops serving in Iraq and in the previous
Gulf War and Balkan conflicts. It's also used in a number of consumer
products which are not required to be labeled.
Our initial goal is to press for legislation state by state calling for
the testing and treatment of veterans and returning
troops for DU poisoning, and the long term goal is to push for a total
ban on the manufacture, sale and use of DU weapons and products.
