[NukeNet] Colonie NY Forum on NL Industries DU Contamination

[Wild Clearing]

NL INDUSTRIES SCIENTIFIC STUDY FORUM - DEPLETED URANIUM STILL  
CONTAMINATES THOSE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK

Community Concerned About NL Industries
Capital Region Action Against Breast Cancer!
Invite you to attend a Public Forum on
NL Industries Depleted Uranium Contamination:
New Scientific Study Released
Wednesday, December 5 6:30 PM Sand Creek Middle School 329 Sand Creek  
Rd., Albany, NY 12205

Speakers
* Randall Parrish, Professor, Dept. of Geology, University of  
Leicester and NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, British Geological  
Survey, Keyworth, England.
* David Carpenter, M.D., Institute for Health & the Environment,   
University at Albany.
* John Arnason, Assistant Professor, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences,  
University at Albany.
*  People who lived or worked near NL and tested positively for  
depleted uranium.
    Speakers will describe new environmental and health test results  
relating to the NL Industries depleted uranium site at 1130 Central  
Avenue, Colonie.

* A report finds depleted uranium (DU) can be detected in people more  
than 20 years after exposure when using high sensitivity urine tests.  
Radioactive DU has also been found in the dust of two homes and a  
workplace after the NL site federal cleanup.

* The isotope measurement testing project, which has never before   
been conducted on any U.S. community, is a joint initiative of U.S.  
and British scientists, led by Professor Randall Parrish. The results  
are being published in an international journal, Science of the Total  
Environment, in the near future (electronically available on-line),  
and will be released at a December 5th morning press conference in  
Albany.

* The NL Industries factory emitted at least 5 tons of DU aerosols  
from 1958 to 1982. DU is a toxic chemical due to its heavy metal and   
radiological properties. NL used DU to manufacture armor-piercing   
munitions.
