Burn Pits 360

This year, Burn Pits 360 has made significant strides in the fight for Veterans affected by toxic exposures.

Millions of U.S. service members deployed to the Middle East and Southwest Asia were exposed to toxic airborne hazards from burn pits. Research shows these exposures can cause lasting lung damage, including scarring, particulate matter deposits, and respiratory symptoms that standard tests often fail to detect. The PACT Act of 2022 expanded benefits and healthcare for Veterans exposed to toxic substances, but much work remains. Ongoing research focuses on advanced diagnostic tools, understanding the mechanisms of lung injury, and improving care standards. Supporting this work is essential to ensuring Veterans receive the care they need. Find the full report at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gVQvHeNY

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our National Ambassador, Ed Shrank. Ed was more than an advocate; he was a warrior, a voice for those affected by toxic exposures, and a beacon of hope for countless veterans and their families. His tireless efforts to fight for justice and improved care will leave a lasting legacy. As our National Ambassador, Ed brought unwavering dedication, passion, and compassion to our mission. His work has touched and inspired so many, and his memory will forever remain in our hearts. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Ed’s family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him. Rest in power, Ed. Your legacy will continue to guide us in the fight for our veterans.

Burn Pits 360 has teamed up with legendary New York Yankees @Bernie Williams and Boehringer Ingelheim to raise awareness about Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). ILD is a disease covered under PACT ACT along with 48 respiratory cancers.

🗣️Urgent, Call To Arms! We only have 2 weeks to have your voice heard to establish a pathway for war lung disease! For over two years, Burn Pits 360 has fought tirelessly to get the VA to recognize Constrictive Bronchiolitis (CB) and adopt a specific diagnostic code for this debilitating condition. This is a major victory for Post 9/11 Veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, but we need your help to ensure the VA’s proposed rule properly reflects the needs of Veterans. The VA has opened a 30-day comment period where Veterans, physicians, and advocates can submit feedback on the new CB evaluation criteria. While the rule proposes to add new criteria like maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 Max) and metabolic equivalents, we believe it’s critical to include confirmed biopsy results as a primary diagnostic criterion. We need non invasive technologies and pathways. Your voice matters! We encourage all Veterans, healthcare professionals, and supporters to submit comments to ensure the final rule fully supports those suffering from CB. This is your chance to influence the policies that will determine disability ratings and access to care for countless Veterans. Submit your comment at the link in our bio https://lnkd.in/gtr48AHk Together, we can ensure that Veterans with Constrictive Bronchiolitis receive the recognition, care, and benefits they deserve.

🚨 Health Is a Human Right and we will not stand down because of VA and DOD’s refusal to understand that Veterans suffering from lung disease are sick and dying. Stop the delay!!! We will launch a national war lung campaign and we will establish a pathway for Veterans and equip our clinicians. Veterans with Constrictive Bronchiolitis are still struggling to get the care and benefits they need. The VA's reliance on outdated tests like PFTs is leaving many without proper diagnosis and support. We need to push for change NOW!
