I recently received an invitation via email, to sign a petition in order to clean Iraq. Radioactive contamination caused by the successions of war that has taken place in Iraq and the Arabian Gulf region, has left the country polluted with depleted uranium radioactive material to the detriment of the local population. Depleted Uranium (DU) weaponry has been used against Iraq since the Gulf War 1 in 1991. Estimated (DU) expenditure of 320 - 800 tons were mainly shot on the withdrawing Iraqi troops from Kuwait to the north of Basrah City.
The initiative launched by Dr. Kadhim Al Mukdadi and supported by activists and professionals in environment, hopes to bring attention to the dangers of radioactive contamination and how it is affecting the people of Iraq at the present date. Already there has been a significant rise in birth defects and cancer that may very well be related to the radioactive materials left behind.
The main goal of this environmental watch group, is to ensure that the Iraqis population of both present and future generations will be healthy. As promised since the fall of the former regime of Iraq, the United Nations and the US and Iraqi had agreed upon the reconstruction of Iraq which includes economic aid and assistance in issues concerning the environment and scientific advancement and health care.
The environmental watch group, cleaniraq.org invites anyone concerned about the safe and expedite removal of radioactive contamination from Iraq, to sign the petition with full name, occupation and country. They require everyones help in the reconstruction of Iraq.
