What the document says
“The study required under subsection (a) shall-- (1) identify exposures associated with military occupations of covered individuals, including relating to chemicals, compounds, agents, and other phenomena”
Subsection (b)(1), the first of three things the study must do. The list of what counts as an exposure is open: chemicals, compounds and agents are named, and "other phenomena" follows them.
What the document actually says
“The study required under subsection (a) shall-- (1) identify exposures associated with military occupations of covered individuals, including relating to chemicals, compounds, agents, and other phenomena”
That sentence, in plain words
The study must find what these fliers came in touch with at work. That means chemicals and other things in the air around them.
What this is about

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
