I wonder what is the environmental impact of such a bomb.

  The US oligarchy doesn't care about lead levels in tap water in cities across the US, so they care even less for citizens of Afghanistan (or Iraq, or Syria, or Bosnia, or Serbia) exposed to chemicals. Not to mention, to depleated uranium.

  The cancer rates in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc have skyrocketed in the past decades. Some believe it's tied to the relentless bombings: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/dec/14/iraq.military https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/dec/14/iraq.military

    Cancer screening has also skyrocketed and cancer is up in lots of places without active conflict. I don't mean to minimize the actual destructive effects of war. But the evidence for cancer as being among them is far from conclusive.

      Cancer screening skyrocketing doesn't account for a skyrocketing rate of cancer...it would simply capture more of the absolute number.
