... Yet integrating the various stressors, biological and chemical exposures, the complexities faced by military personnel during all phases of deployment, and the issues surrounding war may provide a more realistic approach toward understanding veterans' health and may provide insights for preventing illnesses in future deployments. The committee recommends research on the interactions among the multiple stressors, and biological and chemical agents to which military personnel were exposed as a result of the Gulf War conflict.

... Further, the committee urges publication of the results in the peer-reviewed literature so that the studies may receive broad review. The committee recommends the following avenues of research to complement our current knowledge of the health effects of depleted uranium.

... The committee recommends careful long-term follow-up of populations exposed to Saran in the Matsumoto and Tokyo terrorist attacks. The Matsumoto experience shows that direct exposure to sarin, particularly in intermediate to high doses, is associated with the acute cholinergic syndrome.
From page 328...
... pesticides or nerve agents at doses that do not cause overt cholinergic toxicity can produce delayed polyneuropathy. The committee recommends research on genetic factors that may alter susceptibility to sarin toxicity.
From page 329...
... The committee recommends epidemiologic studies on the possible long-term health effects of PB. As previously noted in this report, there has been little attention given to studying long-term health effects of PB.
From page 330...
... Finally, the committee hopes that the following recommendations will complement areas of ongoing vaccine research. The committee recommends long-term, systematic research to examine potential adverse effects of anthrax and botulinum toxoid vaccination in multiple species and strains of animals.
