Environmental Exposure Reports

The former Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses (now Force Health Protecion & Readiness Policy & Programs) is reporting on what we know today about specific events that took place during the Gulf War of 1990 and 1991. These reports focus on exposure to potential environmental hazards. These are interim reports, not final reports. We hope that you will read these reports and contact us with any information that would help us better understand the events reported here. With your help, we will be able to report more accurately on the events surrounding environmental exposures. Please contact this office to report any new information by calling:
