The soil dioxin concentration in sprayed areas has declined to background level; however, a few sites at the airbases where the pesticides were stored and/or handled are still highly contaminated. To date, three sites used as the military base, namely Bien Hoa Airbase, Da Nang Airbase and Phu Cat Airbase, have identified dioxin ‘hotspots’ which contamination level exceeds national dioxin limits.
