Reviving dead land

The chemical war by the US troop in Vietnam ended nearly half of century ago; however, the negative consequences are still being felt on a daily basis by those who live in the parts of the country where the toxic chemicals were dumped indiscriminately by the American invader.

The elimination of the toxic chemicals requires a huge investment in both capital and human resources. Over the past year, cadres and soldiers from the Chemical Corps have played a key role in dealing with the hazardous toxic chemicals.
