Same author having the publication of another study on the possible link between DU and significant increase of birth defects blocked by WHO.

WHO ignored this despite research from Dof on subjects who had ingested DU already showing it as a genotoxin.

The study you linked was around the time when one of the members of the editorial board recommended new research on DU as a genotoxin.

US/UK reluctant to disclose where their DU employment is.

In regards to WHO it's hardly independent since it has political pressure on it by US/UK: Some studies even suggest it might interfere with a fetus. An overview of scientific literature relating to the effects of uranium and heavy metals associated with munitions used in the 2003 Iraq War and occupation, together with potential exposure pathways, strongly suggest that environmental contamination resulting from combat during the Iraq War may be playing a significant role in the observed rate of birth defects.'ĭU is already known to lead to cancer, to be a genotoxin and to lead to birth defects from its exposure and radiation. The investigation demonstrated a significant rise of these health consequences in the period following the war. an extraordinary situation of congenital birth defects in both nature and quantity. To give an example here's what Tokyo-based HRN said: The study even contradicts those of HRG who did investigations in heavy DU-effected cities in Iraq. You also had medical journals, academic researchers, human rights groups who all challenged the credibility of the study, finding significant flaws in the conclusions of the report.

On this topic I'd believe IMOH anyday before a WHO.

The study didn't even look at medical records in Iraqi hospitals reported by Iraqi doctors.you know the actual doctors living in the country who are on the field and report the effects first-hand. Despite being a joint study with Iraq's MOH it directly contradicted the statistics of the MOH which pointed out rates of birth defects being significantly higher in areas bombed by US & Allies when comparing pre-2003 data with current data. Note that WHO published a newer study in 2013 on the effects DU had on Iraq.
