Title: Exposure to Contaminants and Other Hazards from Military Sources.

The military is a major source of toxic occupational and environmental exposures that can increase cancer risk. Information is available about some military activities that have directly or indirectly exposed military and civilian personnel to carcinogens and contaminated soil and water in numerous locations in the United States and abroad. However, we may never know the full extent of environmental contamination from military sources. This chapter provides examples of chemical and radiation contamination related to military operations.
