  • 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.
