A good compendium of information on depleted uranium, but poorly organized. Needs an editor.

Book Description
This report summarizes the scientific literature on 12 of the 35 pesticides that are likely to have been used during the Persian Gulf War. Where possible, it focuses on known pesticide exposures or doses and related health outcomes that may be relevant to symptoms reported by some Gulf War veterans. Evidence from studies of genetic and biological differences between ill and healthy subjects is suggestive, but not conclusive, that these pesticides could be among the potential contributing agents to some of the undiagnosed illnesses seen in Gulf War veterans.However, no prospective studies have been conducted that positively identify pesticides as causative agents.More research is needed to confirm or refute a causal link between pesticides and other agents and the symptoms associated with Gulf War illnesses. ...

Book Description
This report reproduces advance materials sent to 2,005 Gulf War veterans as part of a survey investigating the use of pesticides during Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield and the survey used by the telephone interviewers. Respondents statistically represented the U.S. military population in the Kuwaiti Theater of Operations between August 1990 and July 1991. Survey results characterized pesticide use by U.S. service members, including personal and field use of pesticides, as well as observed pesticide use by others. Information was obtained for living working, and eating areas for a randomly chosen month of deployment. Results show that the majority of personnel were exposed to some pesticides, and there were differences in use by service. ... Read more

From the supplier: The national media largely ignored reports about Persian Gulf War veterans experiencing unexplained medical problems until the Pentagon reversed its stance about gulf war illness on Jun 21, 1996. Since 1991, US military leadership denied troops serving in the Persian Gulf War had been exposed to toxic agents. Many reporters and media executives feel their industry should have pursued stories about gulf war illness more aggressively.
