Denied
The Board denied service connection for anemia and a respiratory disorder, including asthma, emphysema, and COPD, as the conditions were not related to in-service exposures.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his in-service exposures or service itself.
