What Happened at Camp Lejeune?

People who were living and working at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, in Jacksonville, North Carolina were exposed to hazardous waste toxins, such as:

• Trichloroethylene (TCE)
• Tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
• Vinyl chloride (VC) and benzene

The exposure to these toxic substances may have caused people to later acquire birth defects. For this reason, 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.

• Kidney damage
• Liver damage
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Sleepiness
• Confusion
• Nausea
• Difficulty speaking
• Difficulty walking
• Unconsciousness
• Death

Research shows that there were hazardous chemicals at Camp Lejeune, and that these chemicals were possibly responsible for risks of birth defects of nearly 12,000 births of infants in that area. There may be birth defects and cardiac birth defects as a result of elevated PCE, TCE and VC hazardous exposures on that military base.

How Did the ATSDR Find the Presence of PCE, TCE and VC at Camp Lejeune?

Back in 2012, the ATSDR measured for toxic chemicals in the environment, and found that some buildings on Camp Lejeune were dangerous with chemical leaks. This is significant to talk about, because there were negative health effects related to exposure of the chemicals PCE, TCE and VC on that base. When chemicals are leaked into the water, then the people working, living and visiting Camp Lejeune are at an increased health risk of getting ill or triggering diseases because of those types of hazardous wastes exposures.

Many of the symptoms of disorders, diseases and syndromes associated with this exposure to the hazardous chemicals gives the individuals exposed serious, debilitating and disabling medical diseases. In some cases, these diseases have no cure. That means that the symptoms will necessarily reduce the person’s quality of life and be around to affect that individual forever. It is even worse than that, because in some cases the exposure to these diseases can promote an early death for people exposed to these chemicals at Camp Lejeune’s military base.
