Veterans Australian

Making reference to a study of U.S. veterans who reported that they had served in Vietnam and to a study of Australian veterans of the Vietnam war, the IOM committee concluded that fathers exposures could increase the occurrence of acute myelogenous leukemia in their children.50 The IOM committee conceded that there is no information about exposure to herbicides in either study, and it ignored the data from the Ranch Hand study, which showed no excess of leukemias during the first eighteen years of the lives of Ranch Hand children.
