A significant barrier to improving health care for service members and veterans is the inability to determine whether a diagnosed medical condition is related to a previous exposure. Dried blood spot samples have many advantages over traditional blood-draw samples for monitoring exposure to hazardous materials. DBS are easy to collect and store, require minimal processing, are stable, and are better suited for exposure monitoring due to their ability to be collected on location at the same time as an expected exposure.
