Toxic Exposure Screener

Map your military service to the presumptive toxic-exposure conditions that may apply — and the exact claim path and documents to gather. Physician-grounded, plain language, free.

When did you serve?
?
Choose every era that applies. Each era is tied to a known exposure (for example, Vietnam-era herbicides or post-9/11 burn pits). Selecting more than one combines the results.
Where did you serve?
?
Choose every location that applies. A presumption only applies when BOTH the era and the matching location are selected, so pick the pair that fits your service.
Select at least one era or location to screen.

  • Burn pits / airborne hazards (PACT Act)

    Gulf War / post-9/11 · Southwest Asia / Afghanistan · 1990-present

    Open-air burn pits and fine particulate matter exposed service members across Southwest Asia and Afghanistan. The PACT Act makes many airway conditions and cancers presumptive.
