What Happened at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, in Jacksonville, North Carolina?
The Camp Lejeune military base is the subject of problems today, because it had seriously dangerous chemicals that were able to leak into the groundwater and drinking water around the base. These chemicals are carcinogenic to humans, and include:
- Trichloroethylene (TCE)
- Tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
- Vinyl chloride (VC) and benzene
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows anyone who lived or worked at the base from August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987, for at least 30 days, exposed to the contaminated water and suffered injuries, to file a claim against the U.S. government. You are permitted to file a claim in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Northern Carolina to recover damages and personal injuries from exposure to hazardous chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1985.
Studies Show Exposure to Toxins May Cause or Trigger ADHD in Children
There are research studies that show a definite causal connection between a child developing ADHD, and being exposed to environmental chemicals in the child’s environment. If a child develops ADHD, it is going to be difficult for the child to concentrate at school or at home, and it may affect the child for the rest of his, her or their life.
ADHD is a chronic neurological and developmental disorder, where the child exhibits hyperactivity, increased impulsivity and an inability to control behaviors. A child is most of the time diagnosed by going through a battery of medical evaluations, ratings, diagnostic reviews, parent and teacher inputs and a review of the physical daily activity of the child in his, her or their environment.
Why Is Tainted Drinking Water a Hazard to Human Health?
When drinking water is exposed to PCE, it has been known to have detrimental effects on cognitive functions, mood and behavioral problems of children. Children exposed to PCE with contaminated drinking water from the pregnant mother can also have issues later in life, because of that hazardous chemical exposure. For example, children exposed to PCE compared with children not exposed to PCE, show that the exposed children have issues with:
- Lower scores on problem solving tests
- Lower scores on intelligence testing
- Lower scoring on language skills
- Higher frequency of behavioral issues
- Higher frequency of developing ADHD
- Higher frequency of being aggressive
- Lowered performance with memory tasks
- Issues with executive functioning
- Problems with attention
- Issues with mood disorders
- Possibility to develop illicit drug use later in life (drug use disorders)
