Air Force Health Study Brings Science of Epidemiology to the Agent Orange Issue With Help From SAS
Overview Of the 19 million gallons of herbicides that U.S. warplanes sprayed onto the jungles and croplands of South Vietnam, 11 million gallons were the defoliant commonly known as Agent Orange. The health consequences of exposure to Agent Orange and its dioxin contaminant have been a topic of intense scientific investigation and debate since herbicide spraying ceased in 1971. Since 1978, the U.S. Air Force has been studying the health concerns of veterans and their families as well as trying to determine the long-term health risks attributable to Agent Orange exposure. From the beginning, the Air Force Health Study has relied on SAS to make sense of all the variables associated with the study.
