A large number of returning veterans, however, soon began reporting health problems that they believed to be associated with their service in the gulf. Under a Congressional mandate, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is reviewing a wide array of biologic, chemical, and physical agents to determine if exposure to these agents may be responsible for the veterans' health problems. In a 2000 report, Gulf War and Health, Volume 1: Depleted Uranium, Sarin, Pyridostigmine Bromide, and Vaccines, the IOM concluded that there was not enough evidence to draw conclusions as to whether long-term health problems are associated with exposure to depleted uranium, a component of some military munitions and armor. In response to veterans' ongoing concerns and recent publications in the literature, IOM updated its 2000 report. In this most recent report, Gulf War and Health: Updated Literature Review of Depleted Uranium, the committee concluded that there is still not enough evidence to determine whether exposure to depleted uranium is associated with long-term health problems. The report was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 606 $aDepleted uranium$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 606 $aDepleted uranium$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf syndrome$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xDiseases$zUnited States 606 $aPost-traumatic stress disorder$zUnited States 606 $aUranium enrichment$xBy-products 615 0$aDepleted uranium$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aDepleted uranium$xHealth aspects 615 0$aPersian Gulf syndrome 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xHealth aspects 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xDiseases 615 0$aPost-traumatic stress disorder 615 0$aUranium enrichment$xBy-products. 676 $a956.7044 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Gulf War and Health: Updated Literature Review of Depleted Uranium. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956924503321 996 $aGulf War and health$93924321 997 $aUNINA
