AO Korea: No trace of Agent Orange found in S.Korea after dumping claim

No trace of Agent Orange found in S.Korea after dumping claim

"To date, no evidence of Agent Orange has been discovered either on Camp Carroll or in the adjacent community," the U.S. 8th Army said in a statement.

The finding were the result of "non-intrusive" surveys using radar and magnetometer on the locations identified in the testimony and tests on water samples taken from areas outside the camp, it said. Results of tests on water samples from wells on the base have yet to be released.

Further tests were scheduled through mid-July and more might be conducted later, it said.
