Agent Orange A herbicide containing trace amounts of the
toxic contaminant dioxin that was used in the Vietnam War
to defoliate areas of jungle growth. The name was derived
from the orange identifying strip on drums in which it was
stored. Agent Orange was a 1:1 mixture of the n-butyl
esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-
trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). A byproduct
contaminant of the manufacturing process for 2,4,5-T is
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD), commonly
referred to as dioxin. Demand for military Agent Orange
resulted in higher levels of dioxin contamination than in
the 2,4,5-T produced for civilian applications.
Different types of Agent orange are
Description TCDD (Dioxin) Foliage Use
Agent Orange 1.77 to 40 ppm Broad Leaf
Agent Blue (Purple) 32.8 to 45 ppm Narrow Leaf
Agent Red (Pink) 65.6 ppm Anything
Agent White (Green) 65.6 ppm Broad Leaf
Silvex 1 to 70 ppm Fungicide
2,4,5-T (Current) 0.1 ppm or less Broad Leaf .
