... Conclusions relying on the data analyses alone or together with the literature refer to dust and PM, exhaust, and incinerator emissions, whereas conclusions that possible risk-conferring relationships exist relying solely on the literature refer to PM alone. The committee did not make conclusions about whether inadequate/insufficient evidence of a possible risk-conferring relationship exists based on the literature alone, so there are no conclusions on whether inadequate or insufficient evidence exists for PM alone.
From page 10...
... Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, dust and PM, exhaust, fuels, incinerator emissions, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and attention disorders. Conclusion 6-3: Based on its analysis of the available data, the committee does not find a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, dust and particulate matter (PM)
From page 11...
... Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, dust and PM, exhaust, fuels, incinerator emissions, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and anxiety disorders. Conclusion 6-4: Based on its analysis of the available data, the committee does not find a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, dust and particulate matter (PM)
From page 12...
... There is no identified literature on the relationship between exposure to burn pits, fuels, mold, radiation, or solvents and bipolar disorder. Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, dust and PM, exhaust, fuels, incinerator emissions, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and bipolar disorder.
From page 13...
... Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to dust and PM, exhaust, or incinerator emissions and SUD. The committee further concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, fuels, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and SUD.
From page 14...
... Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to dust and PM, exhaust, or incinerator emissions and nonfatal suicide attempts and intentional self-harm. The committee further concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, fuels, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and nonfatal suicide attempts and intentional self-harm.
From page 15...
... Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to PM and dementia. The committee further concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, dust, exhaust, fuels, incinerator emissions, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and dementia.
From page 16...
... There is no identified literature on the relationship between exposure to fuels, radiation, or solvents and CMI. Synthesizing the committee's data analysis and literature review, the committee concludes there is a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to dust and PM and CMI.
