Agent Orange and other tactical herbicides (TCDD exposure)

The U.S. military sprayed millions of gallons of Agent Orange and other herbicides on trees and vegetation during the Vietnam War.

Several decades later, concerns about the health effects from these chemicals continue.

There has been an extensive amount of research performed on evaluating the health effects of exposure to Agent Orange. These research results are updated and published every two years in reports issued by the Institute of Medicine.

VA offers eligible Veterans a free Agent Orange Registry health exam for possible long-term health problems related to exposure.

VA has recognized certain cancers and other health problems as presumptive diseases associated with exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service. Veterans and their survivors may be eligible for disability compensation or survivors' benefits for these diseases

Hepatitis C
