I really don't understand the "environmental issue." Those rounds are
meant to melt through armor and shatter into pieces which bounce around
inside the tank and function as an anti-personnel weapon. That's fairly
high on the "toxicity" scale compared to DU which is approximately as
radioactive as common rock.


Many (most) of the rounds miss the tank, and are in the surrounding
environment, and in villages, and such.
