Were You Exposed?
Select where you served to see the documented contaminants at profiled installations and the screenings, registries, and benefits worth knowing about.
Private by design: this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your selections are never sent to us, stored, or shared, and we do not ask for any personal information.
1. Which branch did you serve in?
2. Where were you stationed?
Pick a state. You can repeat this for each duty station you served at.
No installation profiled on this site matches that selection yet. That does not mean there was no exposure: this site covers 30 states and the most documented cases, and DoD environmental reviews are ongoing at hundreds of installations. The steps below apply to every veteran.
What to do next
- 1. Ask for a toxic exposure screening.Every veteran enrolled in VA health care can get one at any VA appointment. It takes minutes and puts your exposure history on the record.
- 2. Join the burn pit registry if it applies.If you deployed to a region with burn pits or airborne hazards, the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry documents your exposure.
- 3. Check the presumptive conditions list.If you have a condition the VA presumes is service-connected, you do not have to prove the link. See our searchable presumptive conditions list.
- 4. File, or re-file, a claim.There is no deadline for PACT Act claims, and previously denied claims can be reconsidered. Our step-by-step guide and resources page cover how.
