Agent Orange

Dioxin IS carried along when 2 4 5 trichlorophe nol IS converted to 2 4 5 T and enters the environ ment when 2 4 5 T is sprayed on vegetation Typically the amount of dioxin present in 24 5 T is very small Agent Orange a 24 5 T based defoliant used on a large scale in the Vietnam War contained about 2 ppm of dioxin... [Pg.1010]

The famous herbicide agent orange contained as an additive 2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), the most toxic chemical substance created by mankind. Dioxin makes up about 150-160 kg. in 24,000 tons of herbicide 2,4,5-T. This additive is enough to allow us to continue to discuss the consequences to humans and the environment in Vietnam from not one, but two wars the herbicide and the dioxin [65]. [Pg.58]

Terrence Collins is the Thomas Lord Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University who contends that the dangers of chlorine chemistry are not adequately addressed by either academe or industry, and alternatives to chlorine and chlorine processors must be pursued. He notes, Many serious pollution episodes are attributable to chlorine products and processes. This information also belongs in chemistry courses to help avoid related mistakes. Examples include dioxin-contaminated 2,4,5-T, extensively used as a peacetime herbicide and as a component of the Vietnam War s agent orange chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs the pesticides aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, DDT, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, lindane, mirex, and toxaphene pentachlorophe-... [Pg.18]

Finally, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T agent orange) and pentachlorophenol (PCP)—two acidic polychlorinated pesticides—were also investigated. In these cases, the presence of A336 contributed to the solubility of... [Pg.151]

Even so, 2,4-D is advertised as being safe to humans when used as directed, and there is no evidence that the chemical bioaccumulates like DDT does, or that it has any immediate effects on human reproduction or human organs. Although 2,4-D made up nearly half of the active ingredient of Agent Orange, the controversial defoliant used in the Vietnam War, the stated problems with that compound were associated with the contaminant component, dioxin, not... [Pg.58]
