Called 2,4,5-T by the US military, this chemical is a powerful herbicide/defoliant, that is best known for being one of the two chemicals to make up Agent Orange. Due to its toxicity, the chemical was banned in 1985 in both the US and Canada (the same year this film was released). The naming is where the similarity ends however...the real 2,4,5-T doesn't reanimate the dead, it just makes things dead, with less severe cases causing nervous system damage and cancer.

* ArtisticLicenseGeology: The situtation first spirals horribly out of control when trioxin-tainted rainwater rains down on the cemetery and manages to seep down deep enough underground to reanimated long-buried corpses who are effortlessly able to crawl above ground. First of all, the coffins are clearly at least six feet underground and rainwater never goes any deeper than a few inches, even during hurricane-force downpours. Secondly, even if a reanimated corpse had enough muscle tissue remaining to break through the top of a casket, six feet worth of dirt is going to come piling down on top of him and as Series/{{MythBusters}} proved, a few feet of dirt is enough to comprise the structural integrity of a modern-built coffin so all the poor zombie would accomplish is now being [[AndIMustScream pinned in place by a couple tons of dirt for all eternity]].
