Bien Hoa, Da Nang, and Phu Cat Military Bases Are Rated As Significant Dioxin Hot Spots SUMMARY OF DIOXIN CONTAMINATION AT THE BIEN HOA, PHU CAT AND DA NANG AIRBASES, VIET NAM Hatfield Consultants and Office of the National Steering Committee 33 Research Supported by a Grant from the Ford Foundation to Office of the National Steering Committee 33 Prepared for: Meeting of the US-Vietnam Dialogue Group On Agent Orange/Dioxin Washington D.C., June 2, 2009 © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 1 Introduction and Background Since 1994, Hatfield has worked with Vietnamese Government partners on the Agent Orange issue in Viet Nam; Initial studies were conducted in A Luoi District in Hue Province, where the Hot Spot Theory was developed; Areas sprayed with herbicides now have low levels of dioxin – former US Airbases are highly contaminated, given widespread storage and use of herbicides; Ford Foundation has supported studies to identify all known hotspots in Viet Nam; Da Nang Airbase has been subject to intense study to assess environmental dioxin levels and human impacts; Bien Hoa and Phu Cat are other key hotspots – others may also exist. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 2 Ford Foundation Funded Studies: 2003 - 2009 Comprehensive review of literature on AO use and storage in Viet Nam (2003/2004); Preliminary field sampling and analysis of suspected “Hot Spots” (2004/2005); Initial investigation at Da Nang (December 2006) Pacer Ivy Sites Identified (May 2007); Complete Da Nang Project Initiated – 2008: Assessment of Environmental Levels – January 2009; Assessment of Human Levels – April 2009; Final Report – August 2009. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 3 © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 4 Standards Based Approach Dioxin/furan and other contaminants were compared with international standards/guidelines; Standards vary between countries; Generally, TEQs should not exceed: Soils >1,000 ppt (USEPA, ATSDR, Canada); Sediments >100 ppt (US-Cook et. al. 1993); Values should be lower for Viet Nam, given close contact with environment, and reliance on local natural resources for livelihoods. © Hatfield Consultants.

All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 6 Seven Sites Identified as Key Suspected Hot Spots*, 2005 1. Da Nang 2. Pleiku 3. Phu Cat 4. Nha Trang 5. Bien Hoa 6. Tan Son Nhut 7. Can Tho Based on potentially high risk to human health * Other sites may also exist © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 7 General Recommendations (1) The Problem is Manageable: Dioxin contamination in Viet Nam is localized around former US military installations; The vast majority of the land and agricultural & fisheries products in Viet Nam are not contaminated by dioxins; Technologies are available to clean up the hotspots, but international support is needed. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. SLIDE 8 General Recommendations (2) Areas aerially sprayed with Agent Orange during the war are not contaminated with high levels of dioxin today. This is good news for the future health of people, and for the economic development of Viet Nam. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. SLIDE 9 General Recommendations (3) Bien Hoa, Da Nang, and Phu Cat military bases are rated as significant dioxin hot spots. Concerns: 1. Local residents who have regular, direct contact with soils, living in close proximity to these bases; 2. People who consume locally produced fish, ducks and aquatic organisms (especially fatty tissues) from lakes near these 3 bases. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved.

High concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD contaminate soils and sediments at the north end of Da Nang Airbase (up to 365,000 ppt) – south end is very low (Pacer Ivy Area); 2. The source of this contamination was war-time use of Agent Orange (>90% TEQ was from 2,3,7,8-TCDD). 3. The food-chain outside the airbase is being contaminated primarily through sediment/soil transport to aquatic organisms (fish, other animals, lotus); 4. Blood dioxin levels were the highest reported for Viet Nam to date; 5. Interim mitigation measures have been implemented with assistance from Ford Foundation; 6.

Soil in this area should be permanently contained or treated immediately to reduce risk of exposure for Airbase workers and populations living downstream of the Airbase; In most other areas of the Airbase, dioxin concentrations are low, and do not represent a threat to human health or the environment. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. 5/28/2009 SLIDE 16 General Recommendations (4) For People Living Near the 3 Main Hot Spot Areas: 1. Reducing dioxin exposure for human populations living near the Hot Spots is the first priority. 2. Community-based awareness raising programs are needed. 3. Assessment of potentially exposed populations is required. © Hatfield Consultants. All Rights Reserved. SLIDE 17 General Recommendations (5) International collaboration and information sharing is key to moving the process forward; Need to protect future generations of Vietnamese from exposure to dioxin and other toxic chemicals; Financial and technical support is required from the international community. © Hatfield Consultants.

  • Bien Hoa, Airbase, RVN from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Bien Hoa, Airbase, RVN From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During the Vietnam Wars (1955–75), the base was used by the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (VNAF). The United States used it as a major base from 1961 through 1973, stationing Army, Air Force (USAF), Navy, and Marine units there. Bien Hoa is located on quiet, flat grounds in a rural area 25 kilometres (16 mi) northeast of Saigon. The French Air Force established an air base, the Base aérienne tactique 192, which was very active during the First Indochina War. On 1 June 1955, Bien Hoa Air Base became the VNAF's logistics support base when the French evacuated their main depot at Hanoi. At that time the VNAF was in its final days as an auxiliary air arm under total French control. Not long after it was established as a VNAF base the facility took on a tactical role as well as that of a depot. It was here that the VNAF's 1st Fighter Squadron (later renumbered the 514th FS) was formed on 1 June 1956. From this point Bien Hoa became the base of newly formed and continually growing air units. The VNAF 2311th Air Group, later to become an Air Wing, and the 311th Air Division were also stationed there. and the base supported the greatest number of air combat units than any other have throughout South Vietnam. With the influx of USAF tactical air units in the early 1960s, Bien Hoa became a joint operating base for both VNAF and USAF organizations. The USAF forces stationed there were under the command of the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF).

  • Dioxins and Related Compounds in Vietnamese, Vietnamese Food and the Environment: Potential Relevance of Hot Spots from Recent Findings
    DIOXIN IN VIETNAM: CHARACTERISATION, MONITORING, REMEDIATION AND EFFECTS Dioxins and Related Compounds in Vietnamese, Vietnamese Food and the Environment: Potential Relevance of Hot Spots from Recent Findings Olaf Paepke1, Hoang Trong Quynh2, Arnold Schecter3 1 ERGO Research, Geierstrasse. 1, D-22305 Hamburg, Germany 2 Institute for Oncology, Ha Noi, Vietnam 3 University of Texas School of Public Health, Dallas Regional Campus, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. Introduction Agent Orange, a phenoxyherbicide mixture of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyaceticacid (2,4,5-T) and 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was sprayed for reasons of defoliation in large amounts on about 10 % of southern Vietnam during the Vietnam war between 1962-1971. 2,4,5-T was contaminated with the highly toxic and persistent 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the low ppm-range (mg/kg). In samples collected between 1970 and 1973 Baughman et al., 1973 documented elevated levels of TCDD from Agent Orange in milk samples from southern Vietnamese woman as well as in fish and shrimp samples from sprayed areas in this region. Studies have documented the intake of 2,3,7,8-TCDD from Agent Orange in Vietnamese and in among US war veterans (Kahn et al., 1988, Schecter et al., 1995, Michalek et al.,1996; Schecter, 1990; Schecter et al, 1992). This paper gives an overview on recent findings for PCDDs/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs and in various environmental compartments, in humans and in food. Due to the fact that 2,3,7,8-TCDD is the major dioxin congener in 2,4,5-T, many investigators focused mainly on TCDD.

  • The Archaeological Site of Hoa Vinh Near Phan Thiet, Central Vietnam
    The Archaeological Site of Hoa Vinh near Phan Thiet, Central Vietnam Received 28 September 1981 HENRI FONTAINE AND JEREM Y H. C. S. DAVIDSON HE SITE OF Hoa Vinh is situated near Kilometer 1692 of National Highway I, be­ T tween Phan Ri and Phan Thiet, and is 12 km north of Phan Thiet in a dune of white sand that reaches the highway (Figs. 1 and 2). Because of its very high sili­ ca content, this sand is a good basic material for glass-making and has recently been exploited by a small factory. Hoa Vinh is a hamlet of farmers on the eastern side of the Phan Thiet plain. The rice­ fields stretch far to the west, to the foot of the mountains of the Djiring (Di Linh) region, and to the east are bordered by low dunes of white sand a few meters high. These white sand dunes are backed up to much more important rubefied sandy masses that sometimes reach over 100 meters high, making an eastern horizon of red hills that block the South China Sea from view. The area around Hoa Vinh is dry for several months of the year. The low rainfall in this region (1100 mm per year at Phan Thiet, 596 mm at Mui Ne, 622 mm at Phan Ri, 600 mm at Duong) does not favor agriculture, but has enabled the exten­ sive development of salt fields to the north of Phan Thiet. However, during the rainy sea­ son the sand stores up water, and running water may be found at the foot of the dunes for most of the year.
