Agent Pink was only used during the early testing stages of the spraying program before 1964. Agent Pink s only active ingredient was 2,4,5 trichlorophenoxyacetic acid 2,4,5 T , one of the common phenoxy herbicide s of the era. It was later learned that a Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins dioxin , tetrachlorodibenzodioxin 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo para dioxin TCDD , is produced as a byproduct of the manufacture of 2,4,5 T, and was present in any of the herbicides that used it.
