http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1257598/  The study.

"...the U.S. National Toxicology Program recently added tungsten to their list of compounds to be assessed for adverse health effects."

I wonder if the US will follow suite?  I don't use it as it is just to costly and the shells I purchase, put the ducks on the ground.  You just learn your limitations on how far you can ethically shoot and your good to go.

It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I'm not sure that this is the right section for this thread.  I put it here because it will most likely directly effect waterfowl hunters. 

However, in the bigger scheme of things, I see this as an attack on the military and the munitions used.  While the study of the negative effects of metal left in wounds is relevant to recovery.  The implications are to ban effective munitions.

The misuse of a study like this resulting in a projectile ban for target shooters and hunters is disturbing and has already proven effective here in the states.
