That numbers in the article are just nonsense. Of course they didn't use 4 million pounds of Uranium. Where would they get all that Uranium from? The author must have thought entire shells were made of Uranium. And 7.62 mm bullets certainly do not have any Uranium in them.
It is nevertheless evident that DU is a health risk and should be banned. I think there is very clear evidence of dramatically increased cancer rates where it has been used, in Iraq and Kosovo.
