Abstract
Depleted uranium (DU) came to the fore with its permanent health problems on human after the Kosova and Gulf War. The reason for the rise of congenital defected births and cancers was declared as the use of depleted uranium. Therefore there is a strong need to create awareness for the risks created by depleted uranium munitions usage which might have long period effects as lasting centuries. To take the necessary precautions in the crime scene for nuclear, biological, chemical and physical dangers is the primary responsibility of crime scene officers and all the investigators. But compromising procedures and educating personnel for the awareness are the liability of institutions.
