Dioxin exposure and eating behavior in children aged 3 years In the present study, high levels of TEQ-PCDFs and TEQ-PCDDs/Fs were associated with reduced food approach, but no association was found between eating behavior scores and levels of TCDD, the main congener in Agent Orange. In girl...
The prospect of exposure to TCDD from Agent Orange in ground troops in Vietnam seems unlikely in light of the environmental dissipation of TCDD, little bioavailability, and the properties of the herbicides and circumstances of application that occurred. Photochemical degradation of TCDD and limited bio...
LIGHTER THAN ORANGE Watch the trailer The documentary reveals a political failure through individual biographies. IIt depicts the fates of a few of countless Vietnamese veterans who have been victims of Agent Orange. Due to exposure to dioxin-based herbicide Agent Orange used during the Vietnam ...
Preliminary research has evaluated adipose tissue analysis test's ability to document exposure to Agent Orange, a dioxin-containing defoliant used during the Vietnam War. Researchers believe that the adipose tissue test may help document exposure because chemicals such as dioxin are not metabolized by...
Similarly, gestational exposure to dioxin produced pubertal abnormalities and ovarian disease in F3 generation rats [66]. In utero exposure to low doses of TCDD decreases sperm concentration, produces alterations in sperm motility, transit time and fertility in male offspring of F1, F2, and F3 ...
Although most Agent Orange studies have focused on American veterans, many Vietnamese had greater exposure. Because health consequences of dioxin contamination are more likely to be found in Vietnamese living in Vietnam than in any other populations, Vietnam provides a unique setting for dioxin ...
Soon government environmental and health agencies were interested in the dangers to the different populations and their levels of exposure. Initial studies focused on populations at high-risk employment, such as garbage incinerators and herbicide manufacturers, found a well-established cancer risk, higher...
