🌍 Did you know that things used in wars long ago can still affect people today? In some places like Serbia and other parts of the Balkans, people are facing health problems because of something called depleted uranium.
What is depleted uranium?
Depleted uranium is a heavy metal used in some bombs and bullets to make them stronger. During conflicts, these weapons can leave behind tiny particles, like dust, that stay in the environment for a very long time.
Why is it a problem?
This invisible dust can be harmful if people breathe it in or if it gets into the soil and water. Some people believe it can cause serious illnesses like cancer. Imagine playing in a field and not knowing that something dangerous is there!
Learning from the past
It’s important to understand how actions from the past can impact the present. By learning about these issues, we can help prevent them in the future. 🕊️
Your voice matters!
Even though you might be young, you can make a difference by staying informed and caring about what’s happening in the world. Let’s work together for a healthier planet! 🌿
