How much DU gets kicked into the air when they do live-fire exercises?
Very little DU is believed to be kicked up because vehicles and personnel, which are the most likely to disturb the DU, are restricted from entering impact areas where the DU is present. Live-fire impacts may further fragment M101 remnants, but would be unlikely to cause particles small enough to be transported outside the impact areas. Ongoing air testing will provide information to determine whether DU dust is transported outside the impact areas. Results of the air testing will be made available once obtained.
