agents utilized in military operations during the US-Vietnam conflict
from an environmental health perspective; identified the human health
effects of chemical, biological and anti-plant agents, stressors of living
in a war zone and other exposures encountered in Vietnam; discussed carcinogenic
and non-cancerous conditions such as maternal health and reproductive
outcomes, growth and development of offspring, diseases of the immune,
hepatic, neurological, and metabolic systems and post-traumatic stress
disorder; and facilitated a dialogue about the need for further research
to study the ecological and human health issues associated with military
operations in Vietnam.
