Featured Projects
Agent Orange Investigations
For over 17 years, Hatfield has been at the forefront of investigations into Agent Orange contamination in Viet Nam and Lao PDR. We have collaborated closely with Vietnamese health authorities to measure levels of dioxins in the environment in Viet Nam resulting from spraying of dioxin-contaminated herbicide (primarily Agent Orange), which occurred from 1961 to 1971. In partnership with our Vietnamese and Laotian colleagues, mitigation and remediation strategies are being developed to protect local populations from exposure to dioxin in the environment. more>>
