There is a list of around 200 war veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq have joined together to file a lawsuit against the company KBR.

KRB contractors overseas created burn pits which led to the veterans receiving many diseases. The burn pits are open air pits that are used to incinerate human body parts, plastics, gas cans, rubble, lithium batteries and more.

While the veterans have developed numerous diseases, it is unsure whether or not they may come down with more illnesses in the future, including Mesothelioma or other asbestos related diseases. This would be due to the fact that the rubble burned in the burn pits would have been from buildings insulated with asbestos fibers.

So far the veterans have received illnesses including skin conditions, chronic bronchitis, kidney disease and heart disease as well as neurological problems.
