Camp LeJeune Water Contamination
In the mid to late 1980s, routine water tests performed on the water supplies at Camp Lejeune determined an alarmingly high concentration of harmful chemicals, hundreds of times higher than acceptable levels for drinking water. These contaminated water supplies brought water to both buildings and residences at Camp Lejeune.
Any person that was stationed, lived, or worked at USMC Camp Lejeune between August 1953 and December 1987 may have been exposed to water that was contaminated with toxic chemicals. This includes military personnel and veterans who were stationed at the base, their family members, and civilians working at Camp Lejeune.
Many health conditions and illnesses have been linked to exposure to the chemicals identified in the water tests. Some people exposed may be affected immediately while others may not see effects for years.
