The red area on the above Hawai’i Island map is the Pohakuloa Training Area and is radioactive from decades of artillery practice. What does a 2000 pound bomb that supposedly does not explode on impact and is supposedly inert do to a radioactive contaminated artillery field when dropped at high altitude?

Did this action cause radioactive dust particles to be raised up and carried in the winds over our communities?

Depleted uranium detected on Big Isle: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Aug/21/ln/hawaii708210343.html

The military has stated that the radioactive uranium found on Schofield Barrack on Oahu and Pohakuloa does not present any public health risk and that they are going to test the artillery fields to discover the extent of this contamination. The testing of Pohakuloa should be completed sometime in 2008.

Will the Army give the public a full disclosure and transparency of their test results? Why would they allow this bombing practice before the full test results are completed and made public?

Would this bombing practice help the military destroy radioactive evidence and at the same time pollute the communities downwind?

Many educated, informed and concerned residents in Hawai’i know that aerosolized uranium dust particles are harmful to public health, despite the military’s denials. We are asking for and need help from the global community to get at the truth about the full extent on military contamination of paradise.

Please help us Protect Hawai’i. Spread the Aloha and pass this information forward.
