Hello,
I am a veteran and have been researching a topic that I am unable to find much information on. As a Military Policeman assigned to Physical Security at a N-H site in Germany we were exposed to areas that wwere treated with defoliants and herbicides. Twenty-five years after returning these sites to German control, ther is still little vegetation growing on site. We were routinely in reventments underground heating pipe runs, barns and otherwise facedown in the dirt during readiness testing and training. Since Germany has been known to manufacture several of the dangerous toxins associated with these types of chemicals and have followed the US in banning those associated with Agent Orange, I am wondering if anyone has asked for or recieved a complete accounting of what dangerous chemicals we were exposed to on these sites.
