A Maine commission has called for 💥a new probe of the historical use of #Agent #Orange and other herbicides at a #New #Brunswick #military #base 💥
because it says ⚠️ the data and analysis used in a Canadian report that found most people at or near the base were not at risk for long-term health effects was "#incorrect" and "#biased."
The #Gagetown #Harmful #Chemical #Study #Commission, created last summer to study the impacts of exposure to Agent Orange and other harmful chemicals on Maine National Guard veterans who trained at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, recently presented its recommendations to the Maine legislature's veterans and legal affairs committee.
It said the committee should invite experts to review the Canadian Forces Base Gagetown Herbicide Spray Program 1952-2004 Fact-Finders' Report to determine whether the existing data should be reanalyzed or new studies conducted
