The Institute of Medicine assembled an expert committee to address this question qualitatively, but in a scientific and evidence-based fashion. This report evaluates the reliability of the available information for establishing exposure and addresses and places in context whether any documented residues represent potentially harmful exposure by characterizing the amounts available and the degree to which absorption might be expected. Post-Vietnam Dioxin Exposure rejects the idea that the dioxin residues detected on interior surfaces of the C-123s were immobile and effectively inaccessible to the Reservists as a source of exposure. Accordingly, this report states with confidence that the Air Force Reservists were exposed when working in the Operation Ranch Hand C-123s and so experienced some increase in their risk of a variety of adverse responses."--$cPublisher's description. 606 $aAgent Orange$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAgent Orange$xTesting 606 $aVeterans$xHealth and hygiene$zUnited States 606 $aAircraft$zUnited States 615 0$aAgent Orange$xHealth aspects 615 0$aAgent Orange$xTesting. 615 0$aVeterans$xHealth and hygiene 615 0$aAircraft 676 $a615.95137 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee to Evaluate the Potential Exposure to Agent Orange/TCDD Residue and Level of Risk of Adverse Health Effects for Aircrew of Post-Vietnam C-123 Aircraft. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on the Health of Select Populations. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828531903321 996 $aPost-Vietnam dioxin exposure in agent orange-contaminated C-123 aircraft$94031149 997 $aUNINA
