iirc, thats the same thing w/ agent orange. Agent orange (in particular) was a combination of a herbicide and a fungicide. The manufacturing of one or both of those created dioxins as a side product. They did not refine them further to remove the dioxins.
- Pxtl 7y agoAnd afaik, it was the dioxins that were the cause of the health problems with agent orange, not the herbicide and fungicide. So "toxic dioxins created as byproduct and not properly removed creating a health hazard" sounds like a fair comparison, since they share that.
- cobalt 7y agoalso as an aside, Dow Chem/whoever dumped the dioxin they had removed in the middle of the Oregon desert
