They were tasked to review and evaluate the scientific and medical literature regarding associations between illness and exposure to toxic agents, environmental or wartime hazards, and preventive medicines or vaccines associated with Gulf War service. In addition, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences provided conclusions to these studies that were considered when making decisions about compensation to veterans. \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eGulf War and Health Volume 4: Health Effects of Serving in the Gulf War\u003c\/i\u003e summarizes in one place the current status of health effects in veterans deployed to the Persian Gulf irrespective of exposure information.
