The results were obtained while solving the tasks of revealing, characterizing and identification of the LTHC of the war chemicals application in Vietnam, and the most prominent of them is “Agent Orange” (AO) — the dioxin—contaminated phytotoxicant used by the US Army during the 2nd Indochina War [IOM, 1994].
