Nie post pagi2 buta sambil study tuk last paper... Ape itu Agent Orange.. bukan agen spy tu.. Agent Orange nie codename je tuk serangan kimia yang digunakan Amerika semasa perang vietnam dulu...(lahabau tul amerika nie).. Dipetik dari wikipedia berbahasa Inggeris..
"Agent Orange is the code name for one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971. Vietnam estimates 400,000 people were killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects."
"Chemically, Agent Orange is an approximately 1:1 mixture of two phenoxyl herbicides – 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) – in iso-octyl ester form."
"Prior to the controversy surrounding Agent Orange, there was already a large body of scientific evidence linking 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D to serious negative health effects and ecological damage.[14] But in 1969, it was revealed to the public that the 2,4,5-T was contaminated with a dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), and that the TCDD was causing many of the previously unexplained adverse health effects which were correlated with Agent Orange exposure.[15] TCDD has been described as "perhaps the most toxic molecule ever synthesized by man"...
ulang staement.. "mungkin ia adalah molecule paling toxic pernah dihasilkan manusia".. sebg studnet chemical engineering aku sangat interest dengan bende nie.. patutula lecture aku duk stress sangat pentingnya etika sbg jurutera.. nie la kesannyer... tapi amerika tak ngaku lagi.. ish3...
(tak dapat dipastikan sama ada semua gambar adalah dari vietnam.. kebanyakannyer betul sebab aku pernah tengok sebelum nie..)
(p/s: kepada bakal scientist n jurutera tu ingatlah bende yang korang buat.. jangan buat kerje tak beretika n peganglah pada prinsip green engineer..)
