In the 1980s, toxic chemicals were found in Camp LeJeune’s drinking water. The contamination was a result of improper disposal practices, which led to the release of these chemicals into the groundwater, This eventually spread to wells that provided drinking water for residents living on base. This contamination resulted in a variety of health problems for many of the veterans who lived on base during this time period.
For example, an estimated thousands of gallons of trichloroethylene (TCE) were released into the groundwater at Camp LeJeune between 1953 and 1987. TCE is a known carcinogen and can cause liver damage, kidney failure, skin irritation, and cancer in humans.
The toxic chemicals that were found in the waters of Camp LeJeune are the following:
After years of denying any responsibility, the U.S. Department of Defense has finally recognized the health risks associated with contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in NC. As a result, it shut down two wells in the said camp. The move came only after pressure from veterans, families, and veteran advocacy groups.
