Exposure To Toxic Chemical In Iraq Was Preventable, Says U.S. Soldier
Rocky Bixby, a former staff sergeant of the Oregon Army National Guard, says he is disturbed by the fact that his exposure to a highly toxic chemical in Iraq, sodium dichromate, was preventable. He says he and his fellow soldiers could have used protective gear for toxic environments, but no one warned them of the substance’s dangers. (0:26)
