متن کاملAgent Orange Exposure and 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin (TCDD) in Human Milk.
Agent Orange was sprayed in parts of southern Vietnam during the U.S.-Vietnam war and was a mixture of two chlorophenoxy herbicides. The mixture was contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). TCDD and other dioxins and furans are measurable in the milk of Vietnamese women. We explored whether the TCDD in milk from these women was from Agent Orange and whether lactational expo...
متن کاملClinical Outcome of Veterans with Acute Coronary Syndrome Who Had Been Exposed to Agent Orange
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), one of the components of Agent Orange, has been reported to be a deadly poison despite its presence at extremely small doses. TCDD is reported to cause various kinds of cancers and other harmful effects on humans. However, a correlation between exposure to TCDD and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not yet proven. Thus, we examined the correlation betw...
متن کاملTCDD and birth weight of Vietnamese infants.
We read with interest the paper by Tung et al. (2016) on the birth weight of Vietnamese infants. The authors concluded that birth weight was inversely correlated with maternal milk concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin based on a comparison of the so-called hot spots, where persistent exposures from Agent Orange were present, with...
