All About Leukemia

Military personnel and people who work with radioactive compounds each and every day accept the fact that leukemia, often a risk of their jobs. New research in the use and administration of biphosphates to counteract the effects of radiation induced leukemia is proving promising to help reduce job related-risks for such people. People who work in space line astronauts of the many space agencies worldwide are also at risk of high exposure to radiation from space being out of the earth’s protective atmosphere which protects most of us here on the earth’s surface. Synthesized into chemopreventive medication they are proving effective in initial trials. They have been found to have the uncanny ability to remove uranium from the body which would be quite useful for people who handle and use radioactive munitions.
Depleted uranium ammunition is used against armored vehicles such as tanks and bunkers that have thick metal plates that prevents standard shells from penetrating them. Depleted uranium shells can penetrate these armored vehicles due to their heavier weight ratios burning through armor as if it were butter. Added to shaped charge technology, they can render armored vehicles useless, shredding them useless. As found, use of such armor piercing shells also creates hazardous conditions in terms of aeration of the radioactive compounds that disintegrate after impact. They also litter battlefields that can remain radioactive for many years exposing troops, non-combatants and other personnel to high radiation risks.
