➜  Trichloroethylene (TCE)(a metal cleaner)
➜  Tetrachloroethylene (a dry cleaning agent)
➜  Benzene (a chemical found in gasoline)
➜  Methylene chloride (a chemical solvent and paint remover)
➜  Vinyl chloride (a colorless gas used to make polyvinyl chloride for plastic products)

Drinking water sources at Camp Lejeune were found contaminated with benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene, or perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) from routine water testing in 1982.  All of these chemicals are known to be carcinogenic or harmful to humans. In some cases the contamination was documented at up to 300 times acceptable levels.

Adverse health conditions associated with such contaminated water include:

Contamination sources included underground water storage tanks and waste disposal sites.  By February of 1985 most of the contaminated wells were closed.  Those who consumed the contaminated water before the wells were closed experienced cancer and other serious health conditions related to the chemicals.

Camp Lejeune Water Justice Act of 2022

Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022

A new federal law, called the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, was just enacted which will allow thousands of Marines, their family members or individuals who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 an opportunity to receive significant compensation if they suffered a severe injury, illness or died due to drinking, bathing in or eating food cooked with water supplied at Camp Lejeune during that time period. Even unborn children who were harmed as a result of their mother consuming toxic drinking water at Camp Lejeune during that time period may be eligible for compensation.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act will permit individuals harmed by the toxic drinking water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 & 1987 to file a lawsuit in U.S. District Court, Eastern North Carolina to seek compensation for their injuries.

Marines, their family members or individuals who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 who later developed cancer or other contaminated water-related illness may be eligible for compensation.
