VA Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry
VA ESTABLISHED THE AIRBORNE HAZARDS AND OPEN BURN PIT REGISTRY (AHOBPR) IN 2014 TO HELP PUT DATA TO WORK FOR VETERANS THROUGH RESEARCH ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF AIRBORNE HAZARD EXPOSURES.
By joining the registry, you can provide information to help us better understand whether long-term health conditions may be related to these exposures. Even if you have not experienced any symptoms or illnesses you believe are related to exposures during military service, your participation in the registry could help VA provide better care to all Veterans.
