Why This Bill Matters
Protects Future Generations: Exposure to toxic substances during military service doesn’t just affect veterans—it can impact their families. This bill will support comprehensive research into the impacts of toxic exposure on the descendants of veterans.
Awareness: From Mustard Gas in trenches during World War I, to Agent Orange in Vietnam, to desalinization issues with water supplies on ships today, toxic exposure has and continues to impact Veterans and their families in many ways.
How You Can Help
Contact Your Representatives: Urge them to support Toxic Exposure Awareness Month. While some work has been done to serve past Veterans, we can spread awareness to future generations on exposure to toxins and hopefully impact their mitigation going forward as well as establishing best practices.

If you prefer to call or write in, we have included a Toxic Exposure Awareness Month (TEAM) factsheet please click HERE.
Spread the Word: Share information about the issue with your friends, family, and social networks.
Our veterans deserve the best care and support we can provide, not just for themselves but for their families as well. By supporting this effort, we honor Veterans service and work towards a healthier future for all. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
