SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The
Veterans Affairs Department has long resisted disability claims from
service members who said chemical residue left in Vietnam War-era planes
that were used to spray defoliants over Southeast Asia caused them
severe illnesses, including cancer.
This summer, a panel of
independent scientists will try to determine whether those veterans
could have been exposed to the toxins in defoliants, including Agent
Orange, at a level that would be dangerous to their health.
If
the panel, which hosts the first of a series of closed meetings and
public hearings on May 15, finds a link, the service members could be
eligible for tax-free disability compensation up to several thousand
dollars a month.
That's something Wes Carter, a retired Air Force major, believes is long overdue.
"We've
got some sick folks that are not allowed to go into the VA," said
Carter, a former Oregon resident leading the crusade and who believes
his prostate cancer and other disorders are due to his exposure to
dioxin, a contaminant found in Agent Orange.
Carter served
on C-123s in the Air Force Reserves as a medic from 1974 to 1980. The
planes were used to spray millions of gallons of defoliants to destroy
crops and eliminate jungle cover used by the North Vietnamese Army and
the Vietcong.
The military stopped the spraying by early
1971 over concerns that some defoliants contained compounds harmful to
humans. The fleet returned stateside, but Air Force Reserve units
continued to fly them on cargo and medevac missions until the early
1980s.

All “It” Was Supposed To Do Was Defoliate The Trees
http://eugenedailynews.com/2014/05/supposed-defoliate-trees/
by Tim Chuey
The “it” I am referring to is Agent Orange.
It was used extensively in Vietnam and its consequences are devastating and far-reaching. The reason for my discussing Agent Orange is that a series of Town Hall Meetings was held last week in various locations in Western Oregon. “The Faces of Agent Orange” is the title of the program. My wife’s sister Nancy Switzer was one of the speakers for the forum. She is one of the founders and former President of the Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America (AVVA) and came all the way from Rochester, New York to Oregon. AVVA defines itself as “a non-profit membership organization dedicated to advancing the full range of issues affecting Vietnam Veterans, their families, and their communities.” Nancy invited my wife Sue, our daughter Michelle, and me to come to Lebanon for the forum. I might add that I thought I knew quite a bit about Agent Orange, but this gathering showed me just how much in the dark most of us are when it comes to this subject. “The Faces of Agent Orange” town hall meetings are sponsored by the AVVA and the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). This gathering was held at the River Center which is actually a church. Their pastor Lynn Koehn told me that one of the purposes of their church is to have their building available for the needs of the community such as this town hall meeting. The American Legion Color Guard started things off by presenting the colors. Everyone recited the Pledge of Allegiance and then the assembly that numbered about 250 were seated ready to get started.

Vietnam vets push for research, treatment of Agent Orange illnesses
http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/05/12/vietnam-vets-push-for-research-treatment-of-agent-orange-illnesses.html
CINCINNATI — Dave Maier didn’t believe he had tennis elbow.
The 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran had taken 16 aspirin a day for weeks — and then years — until his doctor found the true cause of Maier’s pain: soft-tissue sarcoma — a rare type of cancer that has been found in Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange.
That’s why Maier, of Bay Village near Cleveland, traveled to Cincinnati yesterday to attend a town-hall meeting hosted by the Vietnam Veterans of America. Held nationwide, the organization’s Faces of Agent Orange meetings are meant to garner support for a U.S. Senate bill that would pay for research into toxic chemicals’ effects on soldiers and their children.
Between 1962 and 1971, U.S. forces sprayed approximately 20 million gallons of dioxin-containing herbicides on more than 6 million acres in Vietnam, the organization says.
The chemicals — one of them known as Agent Orange — are expected to cause health problems for veterans and their children and grandchildren for at least five to seven generations.
More than 2.5 million Americans served in the war.
A few weeks after his diagnosis, doctors amputated Maier’s left arm to save his life. Now, he worries for his three children.
Two of them were born with abnormally large heads, he said, but don’t seem to suffer any serious health problems.

Agent Orange’s Long Legacy, for Vietnam and Veterans
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/12/us/agent-oranges-long-legacy-for-vietnam-and-veterans.html
Britain
was the first to use defoliants as a war tactic in Southeast Asia. That
was in the early 1950s in Malaya, then a British colony, before it
became the independent Malaysia. British planes sprayed Malayan jungles
with chemicals to strip trees bare and deprive communist guerrillas of
cover. They also destroyed crops that the insurgents relied on for
sustenance. A decade later, in what was then South Vietnam, United
States armed forces resorted to precisely the same methods on an
enormous scale in their long struggle against Viet Cong and North
Vietnamese fighters.
From
1962 to 1971, American C-123 transport planes sprayed roughly 20
million gallons of herbicides on an area of South Vietnam about the size
of Massachusetts. Code-named Ranch Hand, this operation reached its
peak from 1967 to 1969. (Some members of the Ranch Hand team adopted
Smokey Bear of forest-fire awareness fame as a mascot. “Only you can
prevent a forest” was their twist on Smokey’s slogan.) To the political
and military strategists in Washington, using vegetation-killing
chemicals was a legally sound and necessary way to save American and
South Vietnamese lives. They cited the British precedent.
This week’s video documentary from Retro Report,
a series that re-examines major stories from the past, returns us to
Vietnam and to the chemical most commonly and most notoriously used
there: Agent Orange. Named for the color of a stripe girdling the
barrels in which it was shipped, it combined two herbicides, one of
which turned out to be contaminated with a highly toxic strain of
dioxin. No need for alarm, Washington officialdom and chemical company
executives insisted at the time. Agent Orange did not harm humans, they
said. As the 1960s wore on, those assurances increasingly rang hollow.
Researchers found evidence of birth defects in lab animals. American
scientists and others began to speak out against the spraying.
Opposition to the herbicide campaign mounted, arm in arm with spreading
protests against the war itself. In 1970, the Agent Orange spraying
stopped. Other chemicals continued to be used until Jan. 7, 1971, when
the entire herbicide program was scrapped after a final Ranch Hand run.
But Agent Orange’s legacy was only beginning. More than 40 years later, it still casts a long shadow.

Coming to your table? GMO crops resistant to 'war herbicide' 2,4D
http://www.theecologist.org/News/news_analysis/2387718/coming_to_your_table_gmo_crops_resistant_to_war_herbicide_24d.html
The main props of modern industrial agriculture, synthetic
fertilisers and pesticides (both herbicides and insecticides) emerged
from the World Wars of the 20th century.
They emerged from war and their use is a continual war - on the land, the soil, biodiversity and people. The impacts include illness and many deaths among people, and the destruction of the life of the soil, water, plants and insects.
In December 2011, the Permanent Peoples Tribunal indicted six major pesticide producers, Monsanto, Dow Chemical, BASF, Bayer, Syngenta and Dupont for violating human rights to life and health, and destroying biodiversity. [1]
A product of war, for war on the land
One of these agricultural weapons, 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) was first discovered during World War Two when, as reported by Orvin Burnside in The History of 2,4-D and Its Impact on Development of the Discipline of Weed Science in the United States: [2]
" ... both United States and England scientists initiated secret biological warfare research on plant growth regulators with the objective of destroying enemy crops.
"Kraus at the University of Chicago had observed since 1936 that certain growth regulators were phytotoxic (28). Kraus was aware of the inadequacy of existing herbicides, and in 1941 he was first to propose that growth regulators might work as herbicides, because they often killed test plants."
Like its more potent relative, 2,4,5-T, 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, or plant hormone that acts as a selective weedkiller. And as Burnside explains, [3]
"In November 1942, the United States Army began developing Camp Detrick (later renamed Fort Detrick) in Frederick, Maryland, as the center for research and testing of chemicals for biological warfare with special emphasis on crop destroying chemicals."
This research, authorised by the US Chemical Warfare Service, included investigating the use of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. [4] After the war, Dow Chemical Company and Union Carbide acquired patents on some formulations of 2,4-D and the process of commercialization began.
Later of course, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D, produced by Monsanto and Dow Chemical, were used in combination as Agent Orange and massively sprayed in Vietnam to defoliate the forests.
They also had the effect of destroying small-scale agriculture. As we now know, the 2,4,5-T was contaminated with a particular dioxin, leaving a terrible legacy of birth defects and disease. [5]

The US looks set to approve GM crops that resist the 'Agent Orange' pesticide 2,4-D as well as glyphosate, writes Helena Paul. If it does, the toxic chemical - created in WW2 to destroy enemy food supplies - will soon end up in animal feeds, and the food we eat.
We need a holistic and systems-based agroecological approach - not agriculture as a war on the land and people.

State DEP Rapped for Diverting Dioxin Cleanup Cash to General Fund
http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/14/05/04/state-dep-rapped-for-diverting-dioxin-cleanup-cash-to-general-fund/
Most of those programs may be tapped out. The budget proposal before the Legislature already diverts close to $200 million from various environmental and clean-energy initiatives, That includes diverting $147.5 million earmarked for the cleanup of dioxin pollution in the Passaic River to the general fund -- even before the latest shortfall was announced last week.
The issue sparked some heated debate last week when state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin appeared before the Assembly Budget committee. Of particular concern: Reallocating the settlement with polluters to deal with the dioxin problems in the Passaic River.
In two separate court settlements reached this past December, the administration won $165.4 million from the parties responsible for polluting the river, a case that could eventually amount to one of the largest cleanups ever undertaken.
“You didn’t go after them to balance the books,’’ said Assemblyman Joseph Cryan (D-Union), questioned Martin, referring to the diversion of the money back into general fund. By some estimates, the projected costs of cleaning up dioxin in the Passaic River could run from $400 million to $500 million; the undertaking will take many years to complete
Martin defended the budgetary move. “We’re not diverting funds at all; this is to cover previous (incurred) costs,’’ he told the committee.
Cryan disagreed. “I think it’s completely wrong to cover the shortfall,’’ he replied.
It is not anything new. For much of his administration, Christie has diverted funds from environmental and clean-energy programs to plug holes in the state budget. The clean-energy reallocations, which total nearly $1 billion, shift money paid by utility customers on their gas and electric bills to the state budget.

Governor's budget plan calls for continued reallocation of environmental funds, but there's not much money left to divert
When the Christie administration looks to plug an $800 million shortfall in the current state budget with less than two months to do so, it probably will find few opportunities in the state’s environmental programs -- for a change.Most of those programs may be tapped out.

Harris County Urges EPA To Order Cleanup Of Dioxin Pits
http://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2014/05/07/harris-county-urges-epa-to-order-cleanup-of-dioxin-pits/
The Harris County Attorney is urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to order the cleanup of a local Superfund site.
Tuesday, Vince Ryan formally made the request for the agency to force the companies responsible for pulling the San Jacinto River to remove the worst-contaminated soil.
If you’ve ever driven across the San Jacinto River on I-10, you’ve passed through one of the most polluted parts of the country. That’s where International Paper, along with Waste Management, dumped tons of dioxin – a byproduct of paper production.
“The pits themselves are only twelve acres. But the area around it is several hundred acres that’s got contamination, and the dioxin itself has spread to all of Galveston Bay,” said special assistant Harris County Attorney Terrence O’Rourke.
Right now, those twelve acres are covered by rocks and plastic tarps. The Harris County Attorney’s office is asking the EPA to order Waste Management and International Paper to dig out and remove the dioxin pits.

EPA Seeks Comment on Proposed Decision to Register Enlist Duo Herbicide Containing the Choline Salt of 2,4-D and Glyphosate
WASHINGTON -
The EPA is making available for a 30-day public comment period a
proposed regulatory decision to register Enlist Duo containing
glyphosate and the choline salt of 2,4-D for use in controlling weeds in
corn and soybeans genetically engineered (GE) to tolerate 2,4-D.
Weeds
are becoming increasingly resistant to glyphosate-based herbicides and
are posing a problem for farmers. If finalized, EPA’s action provides an
additional tool to reduce the spread of glyphosate resistant weeds. To
ensure that Enlist Duo successfully manages weed resistance problems,
the proposal would impose requirements on the manufacturer including
robust monitoring and reporting to EPA, grower education and remediation
and would allow EPA to take swift action to impose additional
restrictions on the manufacturer and the use of the pesticide if
resistance develops.
EPA
is making this action available for public comment because the choline
salt of 2,4-D, which is less prone to drift and volatilization than its
other forms, is not currently registered for these uses. Glyphosate,
however, is already registered for several varieties of GE soybeans and
corn. Since no new use pattern and no new exposures for glyphosate are
being considered with this registration action, no further assessment is
needed for glyphosate.
2,4-D
is one of the most widely used herbicides to control weeds. 2,4-D has
been registered for many years in the United States and is registered in
dozens of countries, such as Canada, Mexico, Japan, 26 European Union
Members, and many member countries of the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Public comments on the EPA’s proposed regulatory decision must be submitted no later than May 30, 2014. Comments may be submitted to the EPA docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0195 at www.regulations.gov .
After
the comment period closes, EPA will review all of the comments and
reach a final decision, which the Agency expects to issue in late summer
or early fall.
Questions and Answers about this proposal are available at: http://www.epa.gov/
