Background -- The military has relied heavily on open pit burning at installations in Afghanistan and Iraq, but burn pit operators have not always followed relevant guidance -- Alternatives to open pit burning include source reduction, recycling, incinerators, and landfills, but DOD has not evaluated their benefits or costs -- Neither U.S. forces in Afghanistan nor Iraq have monitored burn pit pollutants as directed, and the health impacts of burn pit exposure on individuals are not well understood -- Conclusions. |
