Join the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pit Registry

Learn how it can benefit your health – and help others

If you served in Afghanistan, Iraq, or other areas of Southwest Asia, you may be concerned about your exposure to airborne hazards like the smoke and fumes from burn pits. Joining the VA Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry can help you learn more about your health and get connected to the care you need.

Even if you don’t think you were exposed, joining can help VA provide better care to all Veterans.
