Agent White is a 4:1 mixture of 2,4-D and Picloram (also known as Tordon 101). Unlike the more infamous Agent Orange , Agent White did not contain Dioxin , which was introduced into the other defoliants through the addition of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4,5-T). However, it appears the Picloram was contaminated with Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and Nitrosamine s, both known Carcinogen s. Around 1985 Dow Chemical was forced to re-certify Picloram after having greatly reduced the amounts of both contaminates. SEE ALSO |
