What Toxins Were Found in the Water Supply at Camp Lejeune?
The marines corps first discovered the existence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the water supply at Camp Lejeune in 1982. But the water supply contamination began as early as 1953, and lasted through 1987. It’s thought that during that period millions of base workers, active duty marines, and their families were exposed to the toxic water supply.
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) most of the contaminated wells were removed from Camp Lejeune in 1985.
The specific toxins that were found in the Camp Lejeune public water supply are:
- Benzene which is used to produce chemicals that make-up resins, plastics, and nylon and synthetic fibers
- Tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene or PCE) which is used for dry cleaning and metal degreasing
- Trichloroethylene (TCE) which is a solvent used to clean metal parts
- Vinyl chloride (VC) which is a bi-product of the TCE and PCE in the groundwater which develops over time
Exposure to TCE, VC, and Benzene are all classified as cancer-causing chemicals. TCE is classified as a probable carcinogen. In addition to cancer, being exposed to these chemicals can also lead to birth defects and other severe health problems.
Who is Eligible to Join the Camp Lejeune Class Action Lawsuit to Recover Damages?
The primary qualifications for joining the Camp Lejeune class action lawsuit – and recovering monetary damages – are:
- You were exposed to contaminated drinking water for at least 30 days between August 1, 1952 and December 31, 1987
- You have been diagnosed with cancer or another adverse medical condition because you consumed the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune
