A preliminary Army report shows that Fort Detrick tested an estimated 16.82 pounds of Agent Orange and similar defoliants between 1944 and 1951.

The preliminary archives search report was requested after residents grew concerned that past testing of Agent Orange could be linked to cancer cases in Frederick.
