Depleted Uranium (DU) weapons have been used at the military Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA) in the center of Hawaii Island and at other sites in Hawaii. DU oxide dust particles can be carried long distances in the winds that blow through the Saddle Area and wildfires started at PTA from bombing. Inhaling DU oxide dust particles can cause various cancers, birth defects, and genetic damage.
You are also invited to join the 10 AM Peace Pole dedication at Gil Kahele Park, across from Pohakuloa sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Hawaii. “May Peace Prevail on Earth.”
