遭受贫铀武器袭击后的毒理学问题

Toxicological issues after depleted uranium weapons attacked

  • 摘要: 贫铀(DU)是供生产核反应堆或核武器用铀的废料,具有密度高、强度大、穿透力强等特性,军事上用于各种武器弹头的贯穿体。美国在海湾战争和科索沃战争中使用了大量的DU武器,造成人员体内及环境的DU污染,引起广泛的关注。本文对遭受DU武器袭击后的毒理学问题进行了综述和分析,内容包括DU内污染的特点、DU伤口污染的危害、吸入难溶性铀的危害以及急待研究的毒理学问题,着重阐述了嵌入伤口的DU残片对健康的危害。

     

    Abstract: Depleted mallium (DU) is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment for producing nuclear reactor or nuclear weapon.DU is used in the military as an armor-piercing projectile due to its hardness, strength, and density.A lot of DU weapons were fired in the Gulf War, and bring about critical environmsntal and intemal contamination.Therefore, DU becomes suddenly a hot issue.In this paper, some toxicological problems after DU weapons attacked have been reviewed, which include features of iaternal DU contamination.hazard of wound contamination and inhalation with insoluble uranium, and other urgent toxicological issues.The healthy effects of implanted with depleted uranium pellets were illustrated in pahicular.
