New Dioxin Rules Might Force More Cleanups
Agent Orange: The killing and maiming goes on
From the VA:
The AP (11/1) reports, “The government has spent many millions of dollars in recent decades cleaning up sites contaminated with dioxin and, in extreme cases, relocating residents of entire neighborhoods tainted by the toxin.
But tough new pollution standards proposed by the Obama administration could require additional dioxin cleanups at scores of abandoned factories, military bases, landfills and other locations declared safe years ago, officials say.”
The AP adds, “One form of dioxin was in Agent Orange, the defoliant used” by US “forces during the Vietnam War.”
