The Enduring Legacy of Agent Orange: Uncovering the Toll on Vietnam's Veterans and Civilians

Info

During the Vietnam War, the United States military used a powerful herbicide known as Agent Orange to defoliate forested areas and deny cover to enemy forces.

This toxic chemical, contaminated with dioxin, was sprayed extensively across Vietnam, Laos, and parts of Cambodia, exposing millions of people to its devastating effects.

The impact of Agent Orange has been far-reaching and long-lasting.

Veterans who served in Vietnam and were exposed to the chemical have experienced a range of health issues, including increased risk of various cancers, nerve disorders, skin conditions, and reproductive problems.

Many have struggled to receive adequate medical care and compensation for their service-related illnesses.

The consequences have also been felt by Vietnamese civilians, who continue to grapple with the environmental and health impacts of Agent Orange decades later. - https://vietnamfocusguide.com/blog/who-was-exposed-to-agent-orange-vietnam/?unique_id_co1h4vgq
