They didn't think it would be.
Agent Orange is a herbicide consisting of 50-percent 2,4-D and 50 percent 2,4,5-T, both of which are good herbicides. If the two chemicals are pure and uncontaminated, the mixture is safe to handle. The problem is, if you make 2,4,5-T at too high a temperature it generates large quantities of a potent carcinogen called dioxin. And the temp needed to make this happen isn't much higher than the temp needed to make the chemical at all.
Nine different companies made Agent Orange, and some of them didn't make it right. About 65 percent of the Agent Orange was contaminated, and the government didn't know it probably because the companies making it didn't realize it could happen.
