Spolana is a Czech chemical plant in Neratovice established in 1898. The chemical factory is situated approximately 25 kilometres north of Prague at the confluence of the Koąátecký Brook and the River Elbe.
It hit the headlines in 2002 when the river flooded and the Spolana plant found itself under water. Spolana produced in the period of 1965-1968 the chlorine herbicide 2,4,5-T.

The former communist regime delivered it through various traders to Vietnam, where U.S. Army used it as a component for Agent Orange.
During production, a huge amount of dioxins were created and the former factory buildings are one of the most contaminated places on the Earth.
In the years 1964 to 1968 about 80 people from Spolana suffered from dioxin contamination. 55 of them were hospitalised. Besides the victims amongst Spolana workers, also American soldiers and Vietnamese were contaminated with dioxins in herbicides used for the Agent Orange production.
