title: Agent Orange. Update.
abstract: Review of the available literature on dioxin over the last several years is reported. There has been considerable writing on the subject, but extraction of true scientific data from emotionalism and sensationalism remains difficult. We must continue to remain alert to potential hazards stemming from this herbicidal chemical and await more definitive and conclusive studies than have been published to date.
