This kind of study is parallel to that of cancer from cellphone towers, cancer from powerlines, as those who live near those locations typically have a lower standards of living than those who don't, and may in fact directly have a far greater impact on cancer rates than actual exposure.
Im not saying DU is good for you or anything, it probably will kill you if you decide to suck on a DU penetrator, but in normal exposure? I'd think the effect on soldiers sitting around the DU round would be a Strong indicator! And since I don't see 10% of the US Tank crewmen getting cancer, thankfully, Its pretty safe to say that exposure to small fragments is neglectable.
Oh, heres a Italian study
