    The 2,4,5-T used was contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), an extremely toxic dioxin compound. During the Vietnam war, between 1962 and 1971, the United States military sprayed 20,000,000 U.S. gallons (76,000,000 L) of chemical herbicides and defoliants in Vietnam, eastern Laos and parts of Cambodia, as part of Operation ...

    The quality of Holosun products although originally poor improved significantly through the 2010s to the point where it began to rival more established manufacturers. [ 1 ] One of Holosun's innovations is “shake awake” where a motion sensor in the optic will power on the optic when it senses motion and power down when it does not sense ...

    There are 75 PCDD congeners, differing in the number and location of chlorine atoms, and 7 of them are specifically toxic, the most toxic being 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD). Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), or furans. PCDFs are derivatives of dibenzofuran. There are 135 isomers; 10 have dioxin-like properties.

  6. 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxy...

    Additionally, the manufacturing process for 2,4,5-T contaminates this chemical with trace amounts of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). [4] TCDD is a carcinogenic persistent organic pollutant with long-term effects on the environment. With proper temperature control during production of 2,4,5-T, TCDD levels can be held to about .005 ppm.

  8. 7,8,3'-Trihydroxyflavone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7,8,3'-Trihydroxyflavone

    [1] [2] Relative to tropoflavin, 7,8,3'-THF is 23-fold more potent in vitro as a TrkB agonist. [1] [2] 7,3'-Dihydroxyflavone (7,3'-DHF) is also more potent than tropoflavin in vitro, indicating that a 3'-hydroxy group on the B-ring enhances TrkB agonistic activity. [1] 7,8,3'-THF has been tested in vivo and was found to produce TrkB ...
