The use of the herbicide has been linked to causing approximately 400,000 deaths and somewhere between 150-500,000 children born with birth defects[1]. The National Academy of Science has conclusive determined that Agent Orange causes Soft-Tissue Sarcoma, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Hodgkin Lymphoma and Chloracne[2].
