Found this on an agent orange website thought you might be interested to know it was manufactured in Germany!!!

Chloracne was also found in 1953 among the male
workers and many of their wives, children and pets at a
BASF (Badischer Anilin & Soda Fabrik)-owned 2-4-5-T
plant at Ludwigshaften am Rhein in Germany.
The factory experienced an explosion months after the
appearance of chloracne among the workers. In medical
examinations following the explosion, some workers
were found to have severely damaged internal organs
including the liver. Heightened blood pressure, myocardial
degeneration, severe depression, memory and concentration
disturbances were also observed. Fifteen years
later some of these workers were still suffering from
chloracne and its symptoms despite treatment and no
subsequent exposure.One death from intestinal sarcoma
was attributed to the explosion.
