Military burn pits were used during deployment to burn away any kind of waste created. The fumes produced have caused serious lung injury and disease. Drs. Mauve MacMurdo and Neha Solanki discuss burn pit exposure, legislation designed to help military who have developed deployment-related lung disease, and the need to evaluate and support these patients.
