Busy day at the office ...
245T is readily available in Crossbow Herbacide. It's actually an acid base that attacks the root structure of wood plants like trees. Roundup is a salt base.
24-d is still used as a Herbacide and isn't banned that I know of... |

Crossbow has 2,3-D in it but the other ingredient is triclopyr (basically Garlon or Ortho Brush B Gone) https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/g...sets/L5842.pdf |

Bull****. The government let farmers use the bad component of Agent Orange (Dioxin) until 1986 and the other, 2,4-D is still in use today, probably by you if you put weed killer on your lawn. In 1967, the Federation of American Scientists submitted a petition to the White House with more than 5000 signatures of renowned scientists, including 17 Nobel laureates and 129 members of the National Academy of Sciences to end the herbicide program. Concerns about the ecological impacts of the herbicides in Vietnam were also raised by the American scientific community, the Association of American Association for the Advancement of Science called for field investigations in Vietnam. In 1969, it became widely known that the 2,4,5-T component of Agent Orange was contaminated with dioxin, a toxic chemical (chemical structure illustrated above) found to cause adverse health effects and birth outcomes in laboratory studies. In April 1970, the US government restricted use of 2,4,5-T, and therefore Agent Orange, in both Vietnam and the US. http://tinyurl.com/mqgfgsk Thank you for proving that the US did not use Agent Orange as a chemical weapon. You are to be commended for accepting a fact which has been repeatedly stated. WADS! Oh, I was there in '69, when the herbicide hadn't yet been restricted. And, the 'Association of American Association for the Advancement of Science' hadn't gotten the word out to the troops in the field. What months in 1969 and whereabouts? Wouldn't have included May by any chance would it? January to December. I lucked out and got a two-week drop for Christmas. I was in Cu Chi with the 65th Engineer Battalion of the 25th Infantry Division. In May I was a company commander in Cu Chi. About June I became the Battalion S-2 (Intel). Got to fly dawn and dusk patrol over the entire division AO looking for breached roads, blown bridges, or other obstacles. Interesting job. |
