dude... as an ex military grunt...
white phorphus is used for multiple things.. mainly smoke screens and air and artillery strike correction markers..
WP is used virtually EVERY ARMY IN WORLD.. use this FOR THESE PURPOSES.
A biologist in Fallujah, Mohamad Tareq, interviewed for the film, says: "A rain of fire fell on the city, the people struck by this multi-coloured substance started to burn, we found people dead with strange wounds, the bodies burned but the clothes intact."
--- how wp works...
What is white phosphorus?
White phosphorus is a colorless, white, or yellow waxy solid with a garlic-like odor. It does not occur naturally, but is manufactured from phosphate rocks.
White phosphorus reacts rapidly with oxygen, easily catching fire at temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above room temperature.
White phosphorus is used by the military in various types of ammunition, and to produce smoke for concealing troop movements and identifying targets.
Little information is available about the health effects that may be caused by white phosphorus. Most of what is known about the effects of breathing white phosphorus is from studies of workers. Most of what is known about the effects of eating white phosphorus is from reports of people eating rat poison or fireworks that contained it.
Breathing white phosphorus for short periods may cause coughing and irritation of the throat and lungs. Breathing white phosphorus for long periods may cause a condition known as "phossy jaw" which involves poor wound healing of the mouth and breakdown of the jaw bone.
Eating or drinking small amounts of white phosphorus may cause liver, heart, or kidney damage, vomiting, stomach cramps, drowsiness, or death. We do not know what the effects are from eating or drinking very small amounts of white phosphorus-containing substances over long periods of time. Skin contact with burning white phosphorus may burn skin or cause liver, heart, and kidney damage.
Mortality/Morbidity: Morbidity and mortality are related directly to trauma and burns sustained from exposure.
Burns usually are limited to areas of exposed skin (upper extremities, face). Burns frequently are second and third degree because of the rapid ignition and highly lipophilic properties of white phosphorus.
Trauma usually is a combination of blunt and penetrating. Blunt trauma results from the percussion and force of the blast, and penetrating trauma results from projectiles produced from the explosion.
Direct the physical examination toward the identification of traumatic and burn injuries. Pay particular attention to areas where phosphorus may be embedded as a result of explosion.
Fully expose the patient for the primary survey. Exercise care when handling potentially contaminated clothing to prevent secondary exposure and burns to the health care provider.
Causes: Most exposures to white phosphorus are accidental in etiology
second thing.. these bodies are already in various states of decay.. let alone burnt
are they?
claims is clinching evidence that incendiary bombs known as Mark 77, a new, improved form of napalm, was used in the attack on Fallujah,
WHITE PHOSPHORUS IS NOT NAPLAM... THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT BEASTS... AND NAPLAM IS OLD NEWS
funny how the information came from a left wing group.. the centre of human studies..
and from rai tv which is was own by the italian president and since many italians are anti war peeps. I wouldnt hold any much water to this.
