What is the effect of alpha radiation?

However, I am a proponent of the precautionary principle and as there are legitimate questions about alpha radiation particles being inhaled or ingested by pregnant women with a risk of birth deformities, there is no pressing need to supply DU tank shells.

I have already linked to two articles on the general environmental damage caused by the war, and the risks to health are significantly higher with these.
