INTRODUCTION
The purpose of these pages are to provide a
brief history and some background into the use of Chemical &
Biological Weapons during the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts.
The sources for these pages may be found on the Internet or
in print and are referenced throughout this site.
These pages where designed by students in the
Chemistry 450 (Chemical & Biological Warfare) class offered
at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. We are in no way experts on
these subjects or claim to be. We have only presented the data
we found.
We hope you find this page useful and insightful
in your search.
Sincerely,
Mike Madonna, Derek Marin, and Jillian Verby
