These contaminations found at this site can cause potential health risks in anyone who comes in contact with them.

Camp Lejeune, North Carolina

From 1957 to 1987 U.S. service members and their families drank contaminated water at Camp Lejeune located in North Carolina. The same water was used for cooking, cleaning, and showering. For decades, fuel, dry cleaning agents, and other contaminants leaked into the groundwater which the base used. There seems to be a general consensus that the military knew the water was contaminated, yet still used it. It is believed the contaminated water has caused cancers, leukemia, neurological disorders, and many more possibly deadly conditions. There are even developments toward more Camp Lejeune water contamination VA benefits happening in 2022.
