What do you know about genetic effects of toxic chemicals such as Agent Orange and DDT?
The VA had a hot line for that subject at the turn of the 21st century (2000 or 2001); contact them again for an update.
In the meantime; DDT was outlawed years ago, probably when Kennedy was president. And, from all accounts, it was some damaging stuff. Agent Orange on the other hand, may still be controversial (that's why you have to contact the VA for the latest info).

How is agent orange linked to atrial fibrillation?
Agent Orange, a herbicide used during the Vietnam War, has been linked to various health issues, including cardiovascular conditions. Studies suggest that exposure to Agent Orange may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. This link is thought to be due to the toxic effects of dioxins and other chemicals in Agent Orange, which can lead to inflammation and damage to the cardiovascular system. Veterans exposed to Agent Orange may therefore experience a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation compared to those who were not exposed.
