How toxic materials in groundwater at Camp Lejeune affected soldiers, workers, and families
Due to the dumping of oil, industrial wastewater, and radioactive chemicals into storm drains, soldiers, workers, and their families stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Marine Corps base from August 1953 through December 1987 might have been exposed to toxic groundwater.
The Tarawa Terrace family housing units might possibly have had drinking and bathing water contaminated with one or more of the following toxins:
- Trichloroethylene (TCE), a degreaser;
- Perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry-cleaning solvent;
- Benzene, an industrial solvent; and,
- Vinyl chloride, a colorless, flammable gas used in plastics.
During this time period, the levels of both chemicals PCE and TCE found in the groundwater exceeded recommended safe levels allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as outlined in the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Veterans, workers, and families were exposed to health-threatening conditions as chemicals from several local businesses adjacent to the Camp Lejeune military base leaked into water supplying the Tarawa Terrace drinking water system.
Although the base shut down the water treatment plant in 1987 when it was made aware of the toxic contamination, the damage to peoples’ health had already been done–then, senior base officials decided to cover it up rather than to face the problem.
