Mar 6, 2014 · In the Schecter (1996) study, serum TCDD was measured in 50 Vietnam veterans from Michigan who had confirmed or self-reported potential for Agent Orange exposure and had blood drawn an average of 26 years after the possible exposure. Of those, 6 had TCDD greater than 20 parts per trillion (ppt) on a lipid-adjusted basis, and this supports the idea that some veterans did have high initial ...

May 6, 2023 · Although there is some evidence to suggest a link between Agent Orange and lung cancer, prior studies have not described long-term outcomes after surgical treatment for early-stage NSCLC in this cohort. Using an enhanced database supplemented with granular data on tumor and operative characteristics, we demonstrated some important findings.
Aug 31, 2023 · Agent orange was a 1:1 mix of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. The process by which Agent Orange was produced often caused the final product to be contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodienzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) [1]. In addition, Agent Orange was often mixed with gasoline and other aromatic hydrocarbons to facilitate its application.

Feb 13, 2024 · A new study by scientists at Brown University reveals the mechanisms by which Agent Orange affects the brain and how those processes can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. The research shows that exposures to Agent Orange herbicidal chemicals damage frontal lobe brain tissue of laboratory rats with molecular and biochemical abnormalities that are similar to those found in early-stage ...
