Agent Orange was an herbicide sprayed during the Vietnam War, named for the color-coded barrels in which it was stored. American aircraft dropped more than twenty million gallons of herbicides, mostly Agent Orange, over large portions of the country's jungles, in concentrations up to fifty times what the manufacturers suggested to kill plants.

However, it wasn't just bad for the trees. That's because a byproduct of Agent Orange is dioxin, one of the world's most toxic chemicals. Many Vietnamese people breathed it, others drank from water sources contaminated by it.
