These programs were implemented to correct fuel leaks inside the F-111 fuel tanks. A number of concerns were raised about health outcomes in personnel who worked on these programs. This report builds on previous findings from studies on mortality and cancer incidence of personnel who worked on DSRS programs. The report will be a valuable resource for policy makers, program managers and health professionals interested in health outcomes of military personnel"--Back cover Notes "Cat.no.CAN 41" "February 2009" Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (page 35) Subject Veterans -- Health risk assessment -- Australia.
