Herbicidal weapons were developed to destroy the forest and jungle cover used by the enemy North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong Guerrilla troops. However, after the Vietnam…

improving the lives of those affected. I’m excited at the opportunity to be a part of the cure through extended studies at UT School of Public Health. My interests in public health are to continue epidemiological research on the impact of exposure to Agent Orange to human health and statistical research on its impact on the environment. I hope to apply the skills and abilities required in this endeavor to other chemical catastrophes in the future. Collecting value data for these catastrophes in…

herbicides such as Agent Orange, to Vietnam has significantly increased extremely dangerous health problems in humans living in that area. In many cases, the introduction of these agents underwent scientific tests to prove, that they cause (Type 2) diabetes, prostate cancer, respiratory cancer, spina bifida, and many others. (Marti) This is especially devastating because over 2.1 to 4.8 million people became exposed to these agents of destruction. (Marti) Out of all of the agents the U.S.…

Imagine being in one of these situations; on the other hand, imagine being saved from a deadly attack because of information given by a tortured prisoner or finally feeling safe because a dangerous…

In this experiment, the Law of Conservation of Mass was illustrated by performing a series of 5 reactions, including a precipitation reaction, a decomposition reaction, two redox reactions, and an acid base reaction on a copper wire, called the Copper Cycle. The initial and final mass of the copper were measured and percent recovery was calculated to demonstrate that mass wasn’t created or destroyed. The balanced equations, balanced formula-unit equations, total ionic equations, net ionic…
