Agent Orange/Dioxin Use in Vietnam: About 60 percent of the herbicides used in Vietnam was Agent Orange. More than 45 million litres (12.1 million U.S. gallons) of it were used from 1962-1970. An additional 28 million litres (7.4 million U.S. gallons) of Agents White, Blue, Purple, Pink and Green were also sprayed.
Defoliants were used during the Vietnam War to defoliate vast areas of jungle growth. The real, Agent Orange, was a 1:1 mixture of the n-butyl esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). A byproduct (contaminant) of the manufacturing process for 2,4,5-T (used in all the agents during the Vietnam War) is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD).
