How toxic materials in groundwater at Camp Lejeune affected soldiers and their families

Due to the dumping of oil, industrial wastewater, and radioactive chemicals into storm drains, soldiers, workers, and families stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina from August 1953 through December 1987 might have been exposed to toxic groundwater.

At the Tarawa Terrace family housing units, the drinking and bathing water might possibly have been contaminated with one or more of the following toxins:

Perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry-cleaning solvent;
Trichloroethylene (TCE), a degreaser;
Benzene, an industrial solvent; and,
Vinyl chloride, a colorless, flammable gas used in plastics.

The levels of both chemicals PCE and TCE found in the groundwater during this time period exceeded recommended safe levels allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as outlined in the Safe Drinking Water Act.

As chemicals from several local businesses adjacent to the Camp Lejeune military base leaked into water supplying the Tarawa Terrace drinking water system, veterans, workers, and families were exposed to health-threatening conditions.
