AGENT ORANGE IN VIETNAM / Julian Wainwright. Last year, Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange launched a lawsuit against over 30 US chemical firms that produced the herbicide for the US military during the Vietnam War. After hearing arguments from both sides on February 28, 2005, a New York district court will decide whether to proceed to trial. Although no link has ever been proven between Agent Orange and any illness, there are consistently high rates of cancer and congenital birth defects in areas heavily sprayed by the defoliant during the war. In 1985, a settlement of $180 million was agreed between the chemical companies and US veterans who had developed diseases linked to Agent Orange exposure.
