This report summarizes the scientific literature on 12 of the 35 pesticides that
are likely to have been used during the Persian Gulf War. Where possible, it focuses
on known pesticide exposures or doses and related health outcomes that may be
relevant to symptoms reported by some Gulf War veterans. Particular attention is
paid to long-term, chronic effects of reported exposures to organophosphate and
carbamate pesticides. Evidence from epidemiological studies, studies of genetic
and biological differences between ill and healthy subjects, and studies of the
physiological mechanisms of organophosphate and carbamate pesticides is suggestive,
but not conclusive, that these pesticides could be among the potential contributing
agents to some of the undiagnosed illnesses seen in Gulf War veterans. However, no
prospective studies have been conducted that positively identify pesticides as
causative agents. More research is needed to confirm or refute a causal link between
pesticides and other agents and the symptoms associated with Gulf War illnesses.
