72667368 Next to an American base in South Korea found traces of dioxin

In streams near an American military base in South Korea had traces of dioxin. As reported by Yonhap, "discovery was made ​​during the joint Korean-American group, who studied the information about the possible burial in the country," Agent Orange ". Water samples were taken near the base, "Camp Carroll" (Camp Carroll), located near the city of Daegu (Daegu) in the southeastern part of the country. Of the six samples positive result was given three. According to the agency, the concentration of the substance poses no threat to the environment and people. As reported by Agence France-Presse, the reason for the transaction was the recent statement by American veterans, according to which, in 1978 at the base were buried several drums of pesticides and solvents. A few years later, they were told, tanks were excavated and transported to another place. Despite the fact that the specific names of substances had been given, experts suspect that this could be an "Agent Orange" – a mixture of defoliants and herbicides, which include those of dioxins. This mixture is used extensively by U.S. troops during the Vietnam War, members of which were based, including in South Korea. The military sprayed with "Agent Orange" forests, which were concealed by their opponents, to deny them shelter or food. By spraying affected not only the flora, but also the local population: "Agent Orange" is a highly toxic substance that causes mutations in humans. Commenting on the discovery, the Ministry of Environment of South Korea, the Associated Press said that the discovery of dioxin to bind with the story of veterans still early. According to AP, in this regard will be to take soil samples in the database itself.
