Looks like two different news articles (this one, and the other one linked) approach the same issue (children's health seriously affected by high levels of uranium in their bodies) differently .. this article attributes it to coal-fired power plans and the truthout article ascribes it to depleted uranium from the wars in afghanistan. Both articles acknowledge the other point of view. It is a little hard to figure out what the real reason is given these two conflicting claims. But, the article does a good job of highlighting the serious health problems in children because of uranium and the Indian Government and Department of Atomic Energy's efforts to cover up -- though it is unclear why.

Although credible journal references are hinted at, there is no information beyond the name of the journal, and no link, making tracing the sources of the information and its actual credibility impossible to assess. Addendum: I've just added a link to the Scientific American article, which has been criticized in other scientific journals. Other references criticize the wording of the SA article, but many add the dangers of mercury, arsenic, and other toxins, and we don't know how they dispose of the coal ash in India.

This story was very thorough, well researched and presented in a very scholarly way.

It has been extensively researched and done. My one question is have the Indian authorities been contacted?

This article seem to have been very well researched and very well written. A very good article

Clear with lots of riveting particulars.
