Millions of People Exposed
Between 1953-1987 people living or working at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, were exposed to contaminated water. This polluted water has caused death, illness, and chronic health conditions. As many as 1,000,000 people were exposed to contaminated water over a thirty-year period.
Deadly Chemicals in the Water
Two main Volatile Organic Compounds were initially identified in Camp Lejeune's water supply: a dry-cleaning solvent and a degreaser. However, as time went on, there were more than 70 chemicals identified in the water that could cause health problems. Those deadly chemicals included Benzene, Toluene, Vinyl Chloride, Trichloroethylene, and Perchloroethylene. Ingesting these poisonous chemicals can cause death and lots of injury and illness.
The Compensation you Deserve
Veterans and families that resided or worked at Camp Lejeune have not been able to recover from their injuries. But that will change when the Camp Lejeune Justice Act becomes law. The bill allows exposed veterans and their families to recover from injuries and death caused by water contamination.
