Gulf War and Health: Volume 1: Depleted Uranium, Sarin, Pyridostigmine Bromide, and Vaccines

Front Cover
Annotation Many combat troops who served in the Gulf War have suffered on-going health problems which may be linked to their wartime service. In response to the concerns of veterans and their families, the Department of Veterans Affairs contracted with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to research possible connections between biological and chemical agents to which Gulf War veterans may have been exposed, and adverse health effects. This report presents findings from the first stage of the project, focusing on four agents: depleted uranium, pyridostigmine bromide, sarin, and vaccines. Reports on other agents will follow, in this long-term commitment to study all of the agents to which the veterans may have been exposed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
