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.

Having just returned from photographing uranium miners in New Mexico, and the ill effects so great it seems impossible to convey, I am stunned further to learn of the depleted uranium contamination 75 miles from my home. I will be there Wednesday. I am grateful for the work you are doing. Russell Honicker
