Yep, when I was in Iraq there was another base that was found to be throwing all kinds of things in the burn pit that weren't supposed to be in it. Stuff like old mattresses and amputed limbs were being thrown in an open air burn pit, and apparently the pit wasn't very far from sleeping quarters. After that was exposed, they started marking off "Exposed to burning waste" on everyone's medical records, even if they couldn't be sure you had been.
