VOCs Discovered In Drinking Water At Camp Lejeune
In 1982, the Marine Corps discovered the presence of volatile organic compounds in the drinking water in two of the eight water treatment plants on the base due to leaking underground water storage tanks and water disposal tanks.
During routine testing of the water sources, they found contamination with benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE) or perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride (VC), all known to be cancer-causing or harmful to humans. In some cases, contaminants were found up to 300 times the acceptable levels.
This contamination began in the early 1950s. In 1985, most of these wells had been shut down. However, many veterans, family members, and civilians have developed serious medical conditions after prior exposure to these dangerous contaminants.
VA: Evidence Shows Association Between Contamination And Later Health Risks
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, scientific research and medical studies show an association between the exposure to contaminants in the drinking water during military service at both Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, North Carolina to the development of later diseases.
Multiple Health Problems Associated With Contaminated Water At Camp Lejeune
Veterans, their families, and civilians who worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 have been potentially exposed to these dangerous contaminants, which can increase the risk of developing numerous medical conditions, including:
- Bladder cancer
- Breast cancer
- Child born with birth defects/congenital anomaly
- Esophageal cancer
- Female infertility
- Hepatic steatosis
- Kidney cancer
- Leukemia
- Lung cancer
- Miscarriage
- Multiple myeloma
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Neurobehavioral effects
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Renal toxicity
- Scleroderma
- Parkinson’s disease
- Other health conditions

New Bill Extends Time Frame Of Lawsuits
Under North Carolina’s “statute of repose,” all claims against a polluter must be made within ten years of the polluting activity. Under this law, many cancer-related claims against the government have been dismissed over the years. Medical conditions from exposure can take decades to develop.
However, a new bill would allow these claims to move forward so that veterans and family members can seek justice and compensation. Without this bill, many veterans and family members have had their claims unfairly denied.
Camp Lejeune Justice Act Of 2022
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a federal law that was enacted in 2022. Through this Act, Injured parties may bring an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina to obtain appropriate relief for harm that was caused by exposure to the water at Camp Lejeune. The contaminated water contained toxic chemicals such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE), which have been linked to various health problems, including cancer, neurological disorders, and birth defects.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act may provide an opportunity for compensation. The Act acknowledges the responsibility of the government for the harm caused by the contamination and provides a means for those who were affected to receive the care and support they need. The Act is an important step towards recognizing the harm caused by the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and ensuring that those who were affected receive the justice they deserve.
If You Or A Loved One Developed Health Conditions After Living, Working, Or Being Exposed In Utero To Contaminated Drinking Water At Camp Lejeune, You May Be Eligible For Compensation. Our Quick Process Can Determine If You May Be Eligible To Qualify Today.
