Toxic Water Contamination Claims
OVERVIEW
In 1982, the Marine Corps discovered toxic water contamination in a majority of the water supply for base housing at Camp Lejeune. The compounds found in the water supply have since been linked with several illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, cardiac defects, and several types of deadly cancer, including kidney cancer and breast cancer. People at risk for developing these illnesses include Marines, Sailors, and their families, along with civilian (GS) employees who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for more than 30 days prior to 1988.
To help people affected by the contamination, a bill has been passed known as the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. The bill enables prior residents, employees, and their families to receive financial compensation.
History of Toxic Exposure
The decades this exposure went on were some of the busiest for Camp Lejeune. Lejeune is home to the Weapons Training Battalion and serves as a primary combat and infantry training facility for new Marines. The infantry MOS is one of the most common in this branch of service. The training course to ready new Marines for duty is a two-month program, meaning tens of thousands of young men and women were exposed to these toxic agents.
Military service requires risk and sacrifice from both the members and their loved ones by its very nature. That risk should not be found in their homes. The exposure was avoidable and unnecessary, and it caused immeasurable harm. No one should have to suffer this way to serve their country.
