Links to Vietnam Veterans Toxic Chemicals (plural) Updates
I usually send these out to my fellows, AO group, and widows but decided to post separately also.
Anyone that would like to get on the update list for e-mail please let me know at:
Note: I do not send the data in the body of the e-mail only notification of the link posting.
For previous postings not broken out AS ONLY TOXIC CHEMICAL DATA but has some valuable "toxic chemical information" on what the government found and never admitted and what other studies have found see

For an excellent website on AO from a Korean Veteran see

Pay attention to the link on problems at http://koreanvet.com/orange/ao%20problems.htm
I have verified those in other studies and then some that are found associated to dioxin or at least Service In Vietnam; regardless of which toxic chemical or combinations of toxic chemicals caused it.
