More than a third of the land in six central Vietnamese provinces remains contaminated with land mines and unexploded bombs from the Vietnam War, according to a study released on Friday. In addition to mapping the unexploded ordnance, a project by the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation and Vietnam’s Ministry of Defense cleared 3,345 acres of land. The Defense Ministry estimates that 16.3 million acres remain to be cleared. Vietnam says that more than 42,000 people have been killed by leftover explosives since the war ended in 1975.
