Around 2010, the military finally stopped using <strong>most <\/strong>burn pits overseas (some remain to be closed).&nbsp; In 2013, the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry (AHOBPR) through the VA was formed.&nbsp; The registry is meant to keep track of any and all military veterans that were exposed to burn pits and other airborne hazards during their deployments. To be eligible to register, the VA states that you must have been deployed to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.publichealth.va.gov\/exposures\/burnpits\/registry.asp\">the Southwest Asia theater of operations or Egypt any time after August 2, 1990 or Afghanistan, Djibouti, Syria, or Uzbekistan on or after September 11, 2001.\u201d<\/a>&nbsp; The <a href=\"https:\/\/veteran.mobilehealth.va.gov\/AHBurnPitRegistry\/\">website<\/a> also makes the important distinction that you do not have to have specific health concerns to participate in the registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and burn pit legislation for asbestos exposure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a refresher, the VA is the acronym used for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.&nbsp; This is the area of the government dedicated to providing benefits and aid for veterans, and the Veterans Health Administration is operated by the VA.&nbsp; Injured veterans can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asbestosclaims.law\/asbestos-mesothelioma-claims\/veterans-disability-claims\">claim disability benefit payments<\/a> through the VA if they are deemed eligible, and all enrolled veterans, regardless of injury status, can utilize the VA\u2019s system of doctors and hospitals for medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another organization dedicated to supporting veterans, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), <a href=\"https:\/\/iava.org\/survey2020\/\">surveyed its members in 2020<\/a> and found that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>86% were exposed to burn pits,<\/li><li>88% of members believed they may already be experiencing adverse health symptoms from their exposure, and<\/li><li>Only 53% of exposed members registered in the burn pit registry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VA research on veterans\u2019 health problems connected to burn pit toxic exposure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In April <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publichealth.va.gov\/docs\/exposures\/va-ahobp-registry-data-report-april2015.pdf\">2015<\/a>, the VA reported on the responses of AHOBP members to its questionnaire.

In June, the Senate passed legislation (called the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022) to expand healthcare access to the millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.&nbsp; If it became law, the bill would increase healthcare coverage from 5 years after exposure to 10 years, allowing more time for any potential veterans&#8217; symptoms to develop and be diagnosed.&nbsp; It also would add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/burn-pits-veterans-healthcare-risks-cancers-respiratory-illness-rcna40669\">23 more illnesses<\/a> to the eligible list for compensation due to burn pit exposure.&nbsp; It was called a \u201clife saving bill\u201d by the Senators who wrote it, and the President has already stated he will sign it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it initially passed, the bill needed to be reviewed again;

A much needed expansion, as IAVA adviser and Army Reserves Major Matt Zeller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/08\/01\/politics\/veteran-burn-pits-what-matters\/index.html\">told CNN<\/a> that many veterans were taking out additional mortgages on their homes in order to afford their medical care.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides providing access to healthcare for more than roughly 3.5 million veterans, the bill also \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/burn-pit-legislation-bill-senate-vote-pass\/\">removes the burden of proof<\/a>,\u201d meaning that veterans who were deployed to designated areas during a specific time frame will automatically be eligible for compensation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterans have made enormous sacrifices for us all, and we should take care of them without getting hung up on politics.&nbsp; Ensuring they receive the appropriate care and compensation for their illnesses is paramount.&nbsp; Deployed service members face many risks, especially during times of war, but they don\u2019t expect those risks to follow them home.&nbsp;
