Testing for Balkan Syndrome
385084 03: A Czech KFOR soldier, who recently returned from serving in Kosovo, undergoes medical tests at a military hospital February 2, 2001 in Prague, Czech Republic. The Czech military is testing all of its soldiers that served in the Balkans for possible signs of Balkan Syndrome, an unexplained condition that is thought to be caused by depleted uranium used in NATO ammunition. Recent media reports claim that scientists have found evidence of Uranium 236 in blood samples from soldiers who served in the Gulf War, where depleted uranium ammunition was also used.
