Welcome to the website of
the Coalition to Ban Depleted Uranium



Our mission is to:
  • Present the latest facts and figures on the use of DU munitions and products by the U.S. and other governments
  • Describe and monitor DU's effect on troops, veterans, and civilian populations in not only the countries where it was used but also countries to which the particles have traveled
  • Advocate for the testing and treatment of returning troops for DU poisoning
  • Act as a clearinghouse for information on the rights and resources available to DU victims
  • Network with other DU groups and human rights organizations worldwide to work toward the eventual ban of DU weapons and products
Du Truth Vol.1 No.1 Introducing:
DU TRUTH
The Newsletter of the Coalition to Ban Depleted Uranium

DU TRUTH is intended to raise awareness about the health and environmental concerns resulting from the use of Depleted Uranium.  We will have interviews with DU activists and victims of DU as well as the latest news articles and information from around the world. CBDU plans to publish DU TRUTH four times a year and we hope to distribute it worldwide with the help of our members.
