To people that inhale dust particles from fragmented rounds possibly, but that's simply not a generational concern.

I think one day we'll find out any problems largely come from all the horrificly nasty chemicals that just so happen to be included by requirement in modern propellents and explosives as they inevitably make their way into the water supply and soil. While DU might not make that problem better, it's going to be a fraction of the contamination from a modern bombing campaign.

And a fraction of a fraction of the damage done by the kind of bombing Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos suffered.
