The Camp Lejeune Justice Act: Get the Facts!

7/2/2022

 
​Camp Lejeune was a military base in eastern North Carolina that was home to as many as 250,000 service members and their families between the 1940s and 1980s.  Today, it is well-known as the site of one of the largest contamination scandals in U.S. history.  The drinking water at Camp Lejeune was full of toxic chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene — each of which are known carcinogens. A 2014 study found elevated mortality hazard ratios at Camp Lejeune for several causes of death including cancers of the kidney, liver, esophagus, cervix, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin lymphoma and ALS. These facts make it clear that Camp Lejeune is something you need to know about if you have friends or family members who served there.
