Agent Orange is the combination of the code names for Herbicide Orange ( HO ) and Agent LNX, one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U. S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971.

The Red Cross of Viet Nam estimates that up to 1 million people are disabled or have health problems due to Agent Orange.

The 2, 4, 5-T used to produce Agent Orange was later discovered to be contaminated with 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin ( TCDD ), an extremely toxic dioxin compound.

Chemically, Agent Orange is an approximately 1: 1 mixture of two phenoxyl herbicides – 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ( 2, 4-D ) and 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid ( 2, 4, 5-T ) – in iso-octyl ester form.

Numerous studies have examined health effects linked to Agent Orange, its component compounds, and its manufacturing byproducts.

Prior to the controversy surrounding Agent Orange, there was already a large body of scientific evidence linking 2, 4, 5-T to serious negative health effects and ecological damage.

But in 1969, it was revealed to the public that the 2, 4, 5-T was contaminated with a dioxin, 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin ( TCDD ), and that the TCDD was causing many of the previously unexplained adverse health effects which were correlated with Agent Orange exposure.

While the two herbicides that make up Agent Orange, 2, 4-D and 2, 4, 5-T, remain toxic over a short period — a scale of days or weeks — they quickly degrade.

Three studies have suggested prior exposure to Agent Orange poses an increased risk of acute myelogenous leukemia in the children of Vietnam veterans.

Starting in 1991, the US Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to review the scientific literature on Agent Orange and the other herbicides used in Vietnam, including their active ingredients and the dioxin contaminant.

The Vietnam Red Cross reported as many as 3 million Vietnamese people have been affected by Agent Orange, including at least 150, 000 children born with birth defects.

According to Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 4. 8 million Vietnamese people were exposed to Agent Orange, resulting in 400, 000 people being killed or maimed, and 500, 000 children born with birth defects.

Children in the areas where Agent Orange was used have been affected and have multiple health problems, including cleft palate, mental disabilities, hernias, and extra fingers and toes.

Dioxins from Agent Orange have persisted in the Vietnamese environment since the war, settling in the soil and sediment and entering into food chain through the animals and fish that feed in the contaminated areas.

Other than liver cancer, these are the same conditions the US Veteran's Administration has determined may be associated with exposure to Agent Orange / dioxin, and are on the list of conditions eligible for compensation and treatment .< ref name =" va-03-2010 ">

The idea that specifically the interdependence between parts would have implications for the origins of living things was raised by writers starting with Pierre Gassendi in the mid 17th century and John Wilkins, who wrote ( citing Galen ), " Now to imagine, that all these things, according to their several kinds, could be brought into this regular frame and order, to which such an infinite number of Intentions are required, without the contrivance of some wise Agent, must needs be irrational in the highest degree.
