A panel of medical and veterans’ affairs experts will discuss military toxic exposures Wednesday at noon on the “Veterans’ Voices” program on Contra Costa Television.

The panel will examine the toxins that veterans were potentially exposed to as determined by when and where they served. Panelists will also provide advice to veterans about getting treatment and obtaining any benefits they might be entitled to related to toxic exposure.

Guests will include Dr. Edda I. Quinones-Romero and Jacqueline C. Johnson, toxic exposure experts from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Also on the panel will be Aaron Munz of the Mesothelioma Center and Assistant Veterans Service Officer Buck Carmichael.
