Health effects seem understudied, judging from this page (at least given the fact that there're polarizing opinions as to whether the effects are negligible and mostly affect the military or not)
Like, I'm not sure that limited usage of depleted uranium in tank-on-tank battles is even a bigger concern (if a concern at all) wrt the environment compared to, say, mining. Feels like some people are overpanicking over this, no?
I agree with you. My largest concern on a former battlefield would be unexploded high explosives. The dangers of those eclipses pretty much anything else.

It's strange that people so rarely mention that Russia is the 2nd largest user of depleted uranium in military use after USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium
