The 1991 Persian Gulf War was considered a brief and successful military operation with few injuries and deaths. A large number of returning veterans, however, soon began reporting health problems that they believed to be associated with their service in the gulf. Under a Congressional mandate, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is reviewing a wide array of biologic, chemical, and physical agents to determine if exposure to these agents may be responsible for the veterans’ health problems.In a 2000 report, "Gulf War and Health, Volume 1: Depleted Uranium, Sarin, Pyridostigmine Bromide, and

This report "Alcohol ("HC 151-I")" calls for a radical change in the Government’s approach to the health and social problems caused by the rising consumption of alcohol in England and Wales.
