New system tracks Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam
Between 1961 and 1971 U.S. military forces in Vietnam dispersed more than 19 million gallons of herbicidal agents, including more than 12 million gallons of Agent Orange. A large number of the American men and women who fought in the Vietnam War were exposed, but the health effects still are not fully known.
Now, as part of a study at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health (MSPH), researchers have developed a geographic information system to accurately estimate these exposures—analyzing the relationships among herbicide spraying, geography, population, and troop location. The study, led by Dr Jeanne M. Stellman, professor of clinical health policy and management at MSPH, and Dr. Steven D. Stellman, professor of clinical epidemiology at MSPH, was published in the March issue of Environmental Health Perspectives.
For more information or to obtain a copy of the abstract, contact Stephanie Berger at 212-305-4372 or sb2247@columbia.edu.
