摘要

The purpose of this document is to provide background information to participants in the upcoming conference, The Health Impact of Chemical Exposures During the Gulf War: A Research Planning Conference, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in coordination with the Office of Public Health and Science (Department of Health and Human Services), the National Institutes of Health, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. In response to U.S. House of Representatives Report 105-205, the conference is to be held on February 28-March 2, 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of obtaining broad public input into the development of a multi-year research plan investigating the relationships of chemical exposures to illnesses among Gulf War veterans. The 697,000 men and women of U.S. military services who served in the Gulf region in 1990 and 1991 were exposed to a wide array of known and potential hazards to health including blowing dust and sand particles, smoke from oil well fires, petroleum fuels and their combustion products, possible exposure to chemical warfare nerve agents and biological warfare agents, pyridostigmine bromide pills to protect against organophosphate nerve agents, insecticides, vaccinations, infectious diseases, depleted uranium, and psychological and physiological stress. Quantitative data for exposure of soldiers to most of these agents during Gulf deployment, however, are not available. Appendix A of this document gives an account of events related to health concerns of Gulf War veterans. Appendix B discusses what is known concerning exposures and potential health consequences of the most likely health risk factors associated with the Gulf War experience.
