Summary:
Agent Orange was a defoliant sprayed by the US during the Vietnam War to clear dense vegetation and reveal enemy troops. It was contaminated with dioxin, a potent toxicant that persists for decades in the environment. Danhs grandfather fought in the heavily sprayed Central Highlands, and his father worked at the former US air base in Da Nang, where dioxin was later discovered in the ducks and fish eaten frequently by local villagers. Dioxin has been associated with human cancers, heart disease and other health problems in people who are exposed. But Lien firmly believes her son inherited the toxic legacy of her father and grandfathers exposure.
"Einstein of the Sea" is from the June 2016 issue of Scientific American.
