Research On WDU (Weapons Derived Uranium)

Busby had written repeatedly on DU and given presentations at the Royal Society, London, where he again gave a talk in Nov. 2008, titled "Scientific Dishonesty" and he reported or published the following findings:

  • "a statistically significant increase in uranium in all the filters beginning at the start of the 2nd Gulf War (03-04/2003) and ending when it ended" from analysis of data—obtained using FOIA—from high volume air samplers, deployed by the AWE Aldermaston, Berkshire(UK)
  • isotopic signatures showing EU (slightly Enriched Uranium) in a veteran of the Bosnia theatre in 1996
  • EU from "guided weapons employed by the Israeli military..in..soil samples from bomb craters in southern Lebanon" and in the air filter of an ambulance, stating "The measurements made in the air filter show that at least part of Beirut has been contaminated and that the Uranium use was not restricted to areas near Khiam, where the Uranium was first detected by our sampling."
  • "Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009" 'worse than Hiroshima'
  • EU "in hair from the parents of children with congenital anomalies in Fallujah" in 2011

In November 2012, Busby gave a talk in Geneva at the Human Rights Council about the failures of radiation protection as a Human Rights Issue.

    These are our grievances which we have thus laid before his majesty with that freedom of language and sentiment which becomes a free people, claiming their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.
