Health concerns arising from environmental hazards found in military housing have prompted a number of questions from military families. The Military Health System wants to ensure you have the most current information on these health concerns and what actions you should take. Below we provide links to the most common concerns, and point you to additional information. 

Above all, if you have concerns that are not answered here, please make an appointment with your, or your child’s, health care provider.
