TOKYO -- Japanese engineering group Shimizu will work with Vietnam's military on an experimental plant that will decontaminate soil long polluted by the wartime defoliant Agent Orange.
The facility, to be built at Bien Hoa Air Base near Ho Chi Minh City, is supposed to remove more than 90% of dioxins from up to 40 tons of soil per hour. Materials for the plant will be imported from Japan, and Shimizu will bear the project costs.
