Chemical Exposure Cited in Gulf War Vets' Ailments

SAN DIEGO - A class of chemicals that includes nerve agents, pesticides and a drug to counter nerve gas may be causing the chronic fatigue, severe muscle pain and other illnesses that about 250,000 Persian Gulf War veterans are experiencing, a San Diego researcher said yesterday.

"Enough studies have been conducted and the results shared to be able to say with considerable confidence that there is a link between chemical exposure" and those ailments, said Dr. Beatrice Golomb, the report's author and an associate professor at the UCSD School of Medicine.
