Hi... I wanted to clear up a few things. First of all, the testing program for finding if contamination exists is SERIOUSLY flawed. According to military document A-2004-00207 there are at least 20 dumpsites for the chemical barrels. It is stated by DND that they used anywhere between 200...

Hi Everyone Just to clear things a bit once again... Yes, the Americans, with DND's permission did spray Agent Orange and Agent Purple in small quantities in the summers of 1966 & 1967. But during this same time our DND was ALSO spraying Agent White from 1965 to 1984 inclusive COVERING 132,318...

Hi Everyone... I just wanted to comment on a post I saw about Agent Orange being washed away. The Dioxin that is a by product of the two chemicals that make up Agent Orange or Agent Purple has a half life of nine years. That means that it loses halif it's toxicity every nine years. It does...
