Question

Agent Orange consisted of:
A. 2, 4-D
B. 2, 4, 5-T
C. Dioxin as contaminant
D. All of the above

Answer 1

One can define Agent Orange as a herbicide and defoliant substance. It is also one of the "strategic use" Rainbow Herbicides. Agent Orange has likewise caused huge ecological harm in Vietnam. The U.S. military is broadly known to use it as a major aspect of its substance fighting system, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971

Complete answer:
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic corrosive is a natural compound that is generally alluded to by its ISO basic name, 2,4-D. It is a foundational herbicide which specifically slaughters most broadleaf weeds by causing uncontrolled development in them. 2,4-D is one of the fixings in Agent Orange, a herbicide that was broadly utilized during the Malayan Emergency and the Vietnam War.
2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic corrosive, a manufactured auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acidic corrosive herbicide used to defoliate wide leafed plants. It is very compelling as a defoliant and has even been utilized in the U.K. to control thorns infringing on trails or railroad lines by the Forestry Commission and British Rail, individually. It has extraordinary preferences in that it has low harmfulness to creatures and is modest to make.
Agent orange is hazardous because it contains 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, also called TCDD. TCDD is a result of herbicide creation and is harmful even in limited quantities. Also, TCDD in common habitats can keep going for a long time. Dioxin was not purposefully added to Agent Orange; rather, dioxin is a result that is delivered during the assembling of herbicides. It was found in fluctuating focuses on all the various herbicides utilized in Vietnam.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: Agent Orange alludes to a herbicide blend utilized by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, and it contained a dangerous compound toxin called dioxin. The dynamic element of Agent Orange was an equivalent combination of two phenoxy herbicides – 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic corrosive (2,4-D) and 2,4,5 trichlorophenoxyacetic corrosive (2,4,5-T), and it additionally contained hints of the dioxin 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). 2,4-D was a significant part (about half) of the item Agent Orange utilized broadly all through Vietnam.
