Not in the least. Agent orange was a herbicide similar to 24D, used in the U.S. in agriculture. Operation Ranch Hand sprayed 11 million gallons of agent orange and 8 million gallons of other herbicides on South East Asia. Most G.I.s got sprayed at least once, not all fell ill.


What was a chemical herbicide used in Vietnam?

supposedly just defoliants but even some of our own died from this and many suffered irrepuable harm (AGENT ORANGE! WAS NOT A WEAPON, BUT WE SPRAYED IT AND WE DID HORRIBLE DAMAGE TO OUR TROOPS, THE LAND IS STILL CONTAMINATED, CHILDREN ARE STILL BEING BORN WITH HORRIBLE DEFECTS, OUR OWN CAME BACK AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE BEING BORN WITH HORRIBLE BIRTH DEFECTS. THERE ARE A LOT OF DOCUMENTERIES THAT WILL TELL YOU MORE. THE HORRIBLE AFFECTS THAT AGENT ORANGE CAUSED, AND ARE STILL CAUSING, MY OWN SPOUSE HAS PARKINSONS DUE TO EXPOSURE)


Can agent orange cause kidney diseases?

I would love to know myself. I am a 24-year-old male, and my father was in Vietnam and, of course, was exposed to "Agent Orange." Since becoming an adult, I have dealt with several health issues, including but not limited to: problems with my back, skin disorders and cysts on my face and testicles. I have researched this topic and can't really seem to get an answer. Can anybody share your experience with Vietnam Vet offspring suffering from cysts and/or other health issues?


When was the last of agent orange used?

1970 would be a good guess, as Rome Plows commenced operations in about 1969. Rome Plows took over the destruction of the forests (jungles) in South Vietnam.

Will aluminum corrode in water or orange juice?

I put a 2" square of aluminum foil in a container of orange juice and another in a container of tap water and allowed both to sit for one week. After one week, the one in the water container had turned brownish black and "corroded" more than the one in the orange juice. Why? I dunno. I would have thought it would be the opposite, but it wasn't. Anyone know why? A. The acid in the orange juice acted as a reducing agent to prevent oxygen from corroding the aluminum.

Why would anyone use an orange mobile phone?

Orange has had many problems with its business. IT has also had problems recruiting new customers and retaining its current subscribers. Many subscribers are very unsatisfied with the broadband of the Orange service and when they tried cancelling their service, 60% had problems with customer service. I would not recommend Orange Mobile.
