The Department of Veterans Affairs VA announces that it plans to conduct an assessment of the scientific literature and historical claims data to determine whether an association between military environmental exposures and certain medical conditions exists. This scientific assessment will consider the possibility of a relationship between exposure to Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFAS and kidney cancer. The population of study will include U.S. service members who may have experienced environmental andor occupational exposures to PFAS during military service but additional inclusion criteria will be considered during the scientific assessment. VA is soliciting public comment on the importance of completing this assessment of scientific literature and historical claims data for kidney cancer and other conditions and will also hold a public listening session.
