    More than 1,600,000 Marines have been diagnosed with cancer in Iraq, the Pentagon said

    Many organizations have met to combat toxic exposure in the military
    More than a dozen veterans' groups will join forces to track and highlight the toxic diseases of former military personnel who have taken part in the invasion of Iraq in an effort to press for a faster move on what they see as a looming health crisis.
    The "toxic exposures" in the US military alliance, announced this week, will coordinate efforts from groups such as the Veteran Warrior Project, Vietnam Veterans, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans from the US, and the Survivors' Trauma Assistance Program for Survivors.
    The focus will be on issues related to exposure in recent wars, although the groups have also defended diseases associated with chemical poisoning in the previous period.
    Cancer-causing foam can be banned in military training next year,
    Under a congressional plan, naval officials must identify a non-toxic alternative in the next five years.
    "We have to do more to address the diseases we are seeing in US service members and veterans as a result of toxic exposures," said Mike Linington, WBO's chief executive officer. "We must honor the service and sacrifices of our nation's warriors by working with Congress to provide the care and resources to help those who suffer."
    The move comes on the same week that Justice Department officials announced they would not appeal a federal court ruling granting a hypothetical subsidy to some 90,000 Blue Water veterans in Vietnam who served on ships at sea during the war there.
    Many in the veterans' community said the issue, which dealt with drugs through the courts for years, was a preview of the next fight on the benefits of veterans who developed health problems after serving near the pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    Blue-collar veterans' claims have been rejected by Veterans Affairs officials for years because of lack of clear scientific evidence showing their exposure to cancer-causing hair loss factors used in Vietnam.

    Similarly, the diseases associated with the burning of pits in recent wars have proved difficult to be categorically linked to a single source, because of the diversity of fires and burning elements in waste pits.
    More than 165,000 veterans have been registered in the fire-drill register, which tracks exposure to waste-related diseases.
    But advocates say they believe the number of people who have suffered the health effects of toxic smoke is several times that number
    Lawmakers in the House of Representatives are considering several measures to address the issue, including a provision sponsored by presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabard of Hawaii (who participated in the invasion of Iraq) in this year's Defense Authorization Bill requiring registration of all exposure to burns in service. .
    But the new group's efforts will go beyond drilling of burns to include monitoring and highlighting the damaging health effects of things such as exposure to depleted uranium in munitions and water contamination at military bases.
    But the move ends after many years of legal fighting over the supposed benefits of up to 90,000 veterans in Vietnam.
    The issue of PFOS from military firefighting foam has attracted Congressional attention in recent months, after the Department of Defense last year identified at least 126 military installations with higher levels than recommended in local groundwater.
     
    The project of the wounded warrior, related to the new coalition, is to track toxic diseases of exposure between veterans and military families. The work, which has a total value of more than $ 620,000 so far, will help prioritize the new coalition and provide additional evidence of potential health problems.
    The group is expected to meet regularly in the coming months to coordinate positions on pending legislation and discuss other ways to highlight its findings.
