Exposure to Sodium Dichromate at Qarmat Ali Iraq in 2003: Part 1 - Evaluation of Efforts to Identify, Contact, and Provide Access to Care for Personnel

Abstract

This report is the first of two addressing actions related to an environmental exposure at Qarmat Ali Iraq. We reviewed Army efforts to identify, contact, and communicate risk to individuals exposed to sodium dichromate at the Qarmat Ali water treatment plant in 2003. For the purposes of this report, we consider anyone who served at Qarmat Ali as having been exposed to sodium dichromate. We also described Department of the Army and Department of Veterans Affairs efforts to ensure access to care for exposed individuals. We visited and interviewed officials from impacted Army commands, and coordinated with the Veterans Health Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs with respect to this issue.
