In 2007, Congress collected $130 million dollars to assist health issues related to Agent Orange, thus including direct care as well as research [21]. Since Agent Orange’s effects range greatly from person to person based on age, exposure rate, and concentration, it is not as simple to classify as a virus or bacteria. Therefore, a cure-all for Agent Orange is not possible, treatment for the symptoms is the only way to cure those affected. Although “cleaning” where there is a greater concentration of dioxin in the environment can stop future cases of dioxin poisoning. So to protect people before Agent Orange can affect them, it must be “cleaned” by different organizations to promote the health of Vietnamese citizens.
Due to all the believed health effects, the veterans of the war from the United States, New Zealand, and Australia made a case against the companies responsible for producing Agent Orange, finally reaching

Da Nang is an attractive city, due to the French colonial powers centered in the city during their colonial rule over Indochina, there is a fascinating cultural crash. French style bakeries are selling French desserts as well as French style cafes; French architecture influences many of the buildings. The unique history of the city has led to Da Nang to becoming a popular tourist attraction.
The need for a clean and proper airport resulted from the in the influx of visitors. The problem lies with the fact that the Da Nang Airport was historically owned and operated by the United States military [25]. Thus it became a hotbed of Agent Orange contamination after the war [25]. Many of the barrels of Agent Orange were left in the area after the war instead of removing them and returning them to the United States, so some of the barrels leaked into the environment [25]. They would seep into areas like water supplies and the soil, contaminated the
There is a common belief perpetuated through the sands of time that Ben Hall was born on a property named Breeza, situated on the Liverpool Plains, NSW, (the name of the current town) this is definitely not the case. The vast Breeza station was situated on the Mooki River (Mokai), and covered an area of 72 sq.m., Breeza would eventually be owned by Samuel Clift, but not until 1848. Most historical accounts comment that Benjamin Hall senior obtained worked as an overseer for Samuel Clift, the owner of Doona station through an advertisement prior to 1837. Unfortunately Doona was not purchased by Samuel Clift until 1837, from a Mr Joseph Merrick for £5 and a fat bullock. Research indicates that in 1841, there were a number of trespass cases where it was evidenced that Samuel Clift's aquisition of Doona was aquired from Joseph Merrick; "...it appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff had purchased the right of the run from a person named Merrick, in the year 1837, for £5 and a fat bullock...".
I accept your valuable points, "She should form a team with other sales person and other officials such as the human resource manager and possibly the business attorney, to participate in putting together the new company policy."
The issue that has burdened our soldiers for multiple years post-war is the effect Agent Orange has had on their families. Agent Orange can not only be detrimental to a war veterans health, but it can also affect their loved ones for generations. The burden a family must carry just by having a sick father or husband is massive, but add the fact the children born from these same families could have horrific birth defects. Dr. Jean Grassman, a doctorate in environmental health sciences and a professor at the Brooklyn College, stated the effects dioxin has on unborn children. She stated that “dioxin is a potent cellular disregulator that alters several pathways and disrupts many bodily systems. She said children are very sensitive to dioxin,
The use of Dioxin has changed the lives of the Vietnamese forever, due to deformities in following generations. The number of people that have been affected is due to the considerable amount of Agent Orange that was used across the country. The children with birth defects has increased over the decades due to the continuous poisoning from the land and the remaining toxins in the water and soil. With having been exposed to Agent Orange,second and third-generation Vietnamese people have not stepped foot on a battlefield, but still have ailments from the exposure to
The war had been going on for so long that some people thought humanity was going to end if the war didn’t stop. Aviet and Ellicus could tell the people were worried so Ellicus sent Aviet down as an invincible spirit to go find the orange. Almost at the point where Aviet was about to stop looking she heard it being thrown and caught below the earth. She went down and saw that a little boy had been using it as a
The United States failed to perform toxicology examinations in order to determine what environmental hazards would occur by using Agent Orange. As a result, millions have suffered from teratogens, which cause birth defects, mutagens, which damaged genetic material among many Vietnamese, and carcinogens, which caused cell damage and cancer among both American veterans and Vietnamese. Regardless of the issue that the United States military failed to conduct previous examination of Agent Orange, the moral issue is that United States failed to perform environmental justice, which states that there must be equal treatment of all people involved in hazardous chemicals regardless of origin, race, or gender. Another principle the United States failed to address is the precautionary principle, which states that when a chemical hazard is possible all precautions must take action in order to reduce risks. Environmental justice and the precautionary principle both address a strong moral compass, and what it means to possess moral curtesy. Equal treatment of Vietnamese and US veterans has still not been
This is the URGENT issue that I need you and your staff to resolve this ASAP. This is in regards of the living situation for my son, Matthew Nguyen. He is currently in room 4116 (West AJ). Matthew is a Freshman, who's living with his sophomore roommate (Austin). Matthew had many concerns about his roommate's behaviors such as he invited his friends inside the room (normally 3-4, including his girlfriend) over at all hours to play computer games, watch NetFlix, Youtube, etc.. He basically violated the basic roommate 101 defined by VT housing (see link below). Matthew discussed the issues with Austin, then sent an email to his RA below on 8/26/2016 about his concerns and requested a roommate change request. His RA, Brianna Ong discouraged
After doing all my research on the Vietnamese food, I now want to travel there and try it all!! In the 1800’s, during the Nguyën Dynasty, the French established a colony in Vietnam and they brought along their own food, which shortly became a huge influence on the Vietnamese cuisine. Foods like carrots, potatoes, lettuce, and others are all a few of the ingredients the French introduced to the Vietnamese that they now use on a daily basis in their cuisines. Coffee and baguettes are two of the mostly influences foods introduced by the French, along with several others (Wiens, Mark, 2013).
Also during the Viet Nam war, America decided to sprayed agent orange- a Dioxin-laden defoliant, onto the landscape of Southeast Viet Nam to deprive the enemy of cover. Who in their right mind would ever think it's a good idea to find the enemy by wiping out beautiful forest and hurting civilians? For people who don’t know what Agent Orange can do to people, it contains dioxin, one of the most dangerous chemicals known to man, it causes cancer and birth defects. Even though it has been 50 years, that toxic chemical is still hurting the Vietnamese people; children born to parents exposed during the war and in areas of heavy spraying hot spots have sever physical deformities, mental and physical disabilities, diseases and shortened life spans. The Vietnamese people exposed to the chemical suffer from cancer, liver damage, pulmonary and heart diseases... Viet Nam war is just a hurtful memory, there is no good bringing it up to debate now, but even though the war didn’t affect me physically, it has a big impact on me
Have you ever seen children with wounds on their bodies? These are sequelae affected by Agent Orange. They were victims of cruel war. Children with innocent smiles, their face and body were deformities, etc. They can never take care of themselves. You will not be able to imagine what I'm talking about and my feelings of tragedy. But you will believe when you see them in reality. At that time, I am sure you will feel the heartache of what they
During the Vietnam War, also called the Vietnam Conflict, an estimated 75 million liters (20 million U.S. gallons) of chemical herbicides including ‘Agent Orange’ was sprayed throughout Vietnam, parts of Cambodia and Eastern Laos by the U.S. military. As a result, over 400.000 people died, and according to the Red Cross of Vietnam, over one million people are disabled or have health problems due to the contamination. From late 1850s, France controlled Indochina, including Vietnam, for over six decades. The colonization was ended by the Viet Minh, yet it was the beginning of Vietnam Conflict. The U.S. and France are at fault for the tragic Vietnam War.
The consent form will not protect DeLong and the hospital for several reasons. The first is that the signing of this document was not witnessed by a third party. The other reason is that Passarelli could prove that DeLong misrepresented the content of the consent form as an insurance form giving him a lack of understanding to the
A deep influence on all facets of cultural life has been left on the country particularly among the cultivated parts of the inhabitants and in the cities in the south part of the country after French colonization. Each ethnic groups has their own old traditions, which itself mixes with the French impact often. Cotonou which is undeniably the best city in the country to shop and have fun, has Quite a lot of movie theatres , hotels, cafes, discotheques that offer entertainment to
Vietnam and the Philippines have enjoyed long, friendly, and mutually beneficial relations. This year, Vietnam imported about a third of its rice from the Philippines, while the Philippines imported about a quarter of its pesticides from Vietnam. Recently, however, relations between Vietnam and the Philippines have been clouded by a catastrophic industrial accident. A concentrated form of the chemical pesticide CP-70 leaked from a chemical plant in Vietnam, adversely affecting large tracts of Philippine farmland. The chemical plant was built three years ago by VinaChem International, a manufacturer of pesticides and fertilizers, and is owned and operated by the government of Vietnam. VinaChem developed CP-70 and is its sole manufacturer.
In general, industrial enterprises in Vietnam have a poor environmental track record. Many use old equipment which is less efficient and more polluting. In addition, several are without systems to control and treat wastewater. http://icem.com.au/documents/envassessment/wb_cea/WB_CEA.pdf Many of these plants do not comply with the country’s environmental regulations and do not have the necessary technology available for pollution control. Although the Government has previously introduced policies for pollution prevention and control, their implementation is slow and additional remedies for pollution prevention and cleanup are needed. http://icem.com.au/documents/envassessment/wb_cea/WB_CEA.pdf
