About Health Risks Tied to Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina

Camp Lejeune is a Marine Corp base located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Built in 1941, the 246-square-mile facility serves as home to the 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Service Support Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, and other combat units. Data reveals that between the 1950s and 1980s, the drinking water at the camp was contaminated with a number of dangerous chemicals and toxins, including benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), and perchloroethylene (PCE). There is no safe level of benzene in drinking water.

Those who have been exposed to the contaminated water via time spent at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between 1953 to 1987 may be compensated for any health complications they develop that are linked to exposure. Diseases most commonly associated with drinking water that is contaminated with benzene and other industrial solvents include: liver cancer; bladder cancer; kidney cancer; Parkinson’s disease; Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; adult leukemia; Myelodysplastic syndrome; multiple myeloma; and aplastic anemia.
