Toxic Chemicals Found at Camp Lejeune
It was found that the water at Camp Lejeune had an unusually high amount of toxic chemicals. Toxic chemicals such as benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene, perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride are known carcinogens to humans. There were many ways that these toxins got into the water system, but the most common ones were leaks from garbage dumps and underground storage tanks. The tanks were mostly sealed off in February 1985, but those subjected to the toxic chemicals are still dealing with serious, life-threatening injuries from these carcinogens.
You Are Not Alone
More than a million people, including Marines, Sailors, civilian workers, and their families, had severe health problems because Camp Lejeune's water was contaminated by dangerous chemicals and bad waste disposal methods.
