Review of Literature on Herbicides, Including Phenoxy Herbicides and Associated Dioxins. Volume 17: Analysis of Recent Literature on Health Effects and Volume 18: Annotated Bibliography of Recent Literature on Health Effects

摘要

A report was prepared by Clement International Corporstion. It is an independent assessment of the current state of knowledge about the health effects of phenoxy herbicides, their contaminating polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin impurities, and two other herbicides (picloram and cacodylic acid) that were used in Vietnam. The report consists of a bibliography and critical review of scientific literature that became available during 1990 on the health effects of the herbicides (including impurities) used as defoliants in the Vietnam conflict.
