Agent Orange

Agent Orange was a powerful herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to clear dense vegetation. It contained harmful chemical compounds, particularly dioxins, which have been linked to serious health issues like cancer, birth defects, and other chronic conditions among both veterans and Vietnamese populations. The use of Agent Orange has had long-lasting environmental impacts, leading to significant health and ecological concerns that persist to this day. Its legacy is a reminder of the complex consequences of warfare on nature and human health.
