The herbicide was sprayed from airplanes, helicopters, trucks, and backpack sprayers. In Vietnam, Agent Orange was used to eliminate dense jungle foliage under which the communist forces took cover. Since its use, millions of Vietnamese citizens and American military personnel who served in Vietnam have claimed that Agent Orange caused a wide variety of health problems.
Veterans who are suffering from Agent Orange exposure during their service in Vietnam have reported a variety of symptoms and diseases, including birth defects in their children. Studies continue to be conducted, linking the exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam to illnesses such as respiratory cancer, Hodgkin''s disease, and diabetes Type II. The facts about Agent Orange''s use in Vietnam and the detrimental effects that the herbicide had upon those who were exposed continue to come out. It is important for those who believe they are suffering due to their exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam to stay informed of the latest legal and medical developments.
Although the United States government originally maintained that the Agent Orange used in Vietnam does not cause any health issues, there is currently a program run by the US Department of Veterans Affairs that provides some compensation for veterans and the survivors of service members who were exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. The procedures used are complex and can be very confusing, so it is advised that veterans retain an advocate who is familiar with the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam and the current rights and entitlements of those suffering from the detrimental effects. An attorney experienced in representing clients whose illnesses are linked to their exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War may be able to help you make crucial decisions to safeguard your future and that of your loved ones.
