Abstract

During the Vietnam War, the American Air Force have sprayed over 80 million liters of Agent Orange containing Dioxin - the most toxic substance ever found in human's history - in South Viet Nam. This has caused serious consequences for Vietnamese people's health and ecological environment. The intervention solutions for overcoming long-term consequences of Dioxin must be an integration of groups of solutions on environment in eliminating dioxin exposure sources from hot spots and groups of social and community-based solutions to mitigate the disease burden for dioxin-exposed individ- uals and the society as a whole. To overcome the long-term consequences of dioxin on human health and environment is an urgent and arduous task. It requires time and concerns of the whole society as well as a stronger international cooperation.
