In response to concerns and continuing uncertainty about the long-term health effects of the sprayed herbicides on Vietnam veterans, Veterans and Agent Orange provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific and medical information regarding the health effects of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used in Vietnam. The 2008 report is the eighth volume in this series of biennial updates. It will be of interest to policy makers and physicians in the federal government, veterans and their families, veterans' organizations, researchers, and health professionals."--Publisher's description. 000442841 650_0 $$aAgent Orange$$xHealth aspects. 000442841 650_0 $$aAgent Orange$$xToxicology. 000442841 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$xVeterans$$xHealth risk assessment$$zUnited States. 000442841 650_0 $$aElectronic books. 000442841 7102_ $$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$$bCommittee to Review the Health Effects in Vietnam Veterans of Exposure to Herbicides. 000442841 7102_ $$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 000442841 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000442841 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10520716$$zOnline Access 000442841 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:442841$$pGLOBAL_SET 000442841 980__ $$aEBOOK 000442841 980__ $$aBIB 000442841 982__ $$aEbook 000442841 983__ $$aOnline
