Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure – New Report

Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure – New Report

Morning Rounds

A new red flag about Agent Orange

A new report from the National Academies has turned up a connection between high blood pressure and exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides during the Vietnam War. The report is the latest in a series of congressionally mandated reviews on the research into the potential health harms of Agent Orange exposure. Experts who examined the evidence say the research suggests there's an association between high blood pressure and the pesticide. The committee also recommended that the VA study the health of the children of male Vietnam veterans, since there isn't any research on how chemical exposures might have affected their descendants.
