Download or read book Gulf war illnesses DOD's conclusions about U.S. troops' exposure cannot be adequately supported written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Gulf War in 1991, many of the approximately 700,000 U.S. veterans have experienced undiagnosed illnesses. They attribute these illnesses to exposure to chemical warfare (CW) agents in plumes -- clouds released from the bombing of Iraqi sites. But in 2000, the Department of Defense (DoD) estimated that of the 700,000 veterans, 101,752 troops were potentially exposed. GAO was asked to evaluate the validity of DoD, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and British Ministry of Defense (MOD) conclusions about troops' exposure. The GAO found that DoD's and MOD's conclusions about troops' exposure to CW agents, based on DoD and CIA plume modeling, cannot be adequately supported. The models were not fully developed for analyzing long-range dispersion of CW agents as an environmental hazard. The modeling assumptions as to source term data -- quantity and purity of the agent -- were inaccurate because they were uncertain, incomplete, and nonvalidated. The plume heights used in the modeling were underestimated and so were the hazard areas. Postwar field testing used to estimate the source term data did not realistically simulate the actual conditions of bombings or demolitions. Finally, the results of both DoD and non-DoD models showed wide divergences as to plume size and path. DoD's and VA's conclusion about no association between exposure to CW agents and rates of hospitalization and mortality, based on two epidemiological studies conducted and funded by DoD and VA, also cannot be adequately supported because of study weaknesses. In both studies, flawed criteria -- DoD's plume model and DoD's estimation of potentially exposed troops based on this model -- were used to determine exposure. This may have resulted in large-scale misclassification. GAO recommended that the DoD and the VA not use the plume-modeling data for any other epidemiological studies of the 1991 Gulf War. VA concurred with the recommendation; DoD and the CIA did not concur.

Download or read book Chemical Warfare Agents written by Brian J. Lukey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 1197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this book, Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicity at Low Levels, was published just prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The second edition titled, Chemical Warfare Agents: Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics, included new epidemiological and clinical studies of exposed or potentially exposed populations; new treatment concepts and products; improved organization of the national response apparatus addressing the potential for CWA terrorism; and improved diagnostic tests that enable rapid diagnosis and treatment. Since the second edition, the chemical warfare agent community has worked hard to advance research for protection and treatment and develop/improve response approaches for individuals and definitive care. Consequently, in addition to updating previous chapters, Chemical Warfare Agents: Biomedical and Psychological Effects, Medical Countermeasures, and Emergency Response, Third Edition features several new chapters that address the Syrian War, chemical destruction, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, biomarkers for chemical warfare agent exposure, field sensors, aircraft decontamination, lung/human on a chip, chemical warfare response decision making, and other research advancements. Features: Describes the newest medical interventions, and the latest technologies deployed in the field, as well as developments in the international response to CW usage highlighting recent events in the Middle East Discusses the latest in organizational/interagency partitioning in terms of responsibilities for emergency response, not just in the United States but at the international level—whether prevention, mitigation, medical care, reclamation, or medico-legal aspects of such response Contains the most current research from bench-level experts The third edition contains the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the question of chemical warfare agent employment on the battlefield or in terrorism. Edited by workers that have been in the field for 35+ years, it remains faithful to the scientific "constants," while evaluating and crediting the advances by the industry that have made us safer.
