Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for asthma. The issues of service connection for chronic rhinitis and vertigo, claimed as dizziness, are remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current asthma was related to his in-service toxic exposures, but there was credible evidence supporting the onset of tinnitus during service. For the other issues, additional medical evidence is needed to determine their relationship to service.
