The lethal defoliant Agent Orange was kept also at Camp Market, a depot of the U.S. Forces Korea in Bupyeong, Incheon, during the late 1960s, according to U.S. veterans. On "koreanwar.org," a website for the Korean War Project for USFK veterans, veteran Randy Watson in 2007 said "barrels of what I believe now to be Agent Orange" were kept at Ascom Depot, currently Camp Market.
The Korean War Project, an organization that has its office in Dallas, Texas, has been raising the issue of Agent Orange, which the U.S. used in the Vietnam War, for about 10 years.
The Incheon Institute of Health and Environment took samples of soil and groundwater near the camp last Friday, and results are expected late this month.
