SIDE EFFECTS & ILLNESSES OF WATER CONTAMINATION

In 2017, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released a study that concluded that there was scientific and medical evidence linking TCE and PCE, the primary contaminants of the drinking water at Camp Lejeune, to fatal illnesses and diseases. The same study also found that children born to mothers who were exposed to the contaminated Camp Lejeune water (even for very short durations) were at higher risk for cardiac birth defects and increased risk of childhood leukemia.

Injuries that may qualify for compensation include:  

There was over a 40-year period during which the Camp Lejeune water supply was contaminated with high levels of TCE, PCE, and other chemicals. As a result, anyone who consumed the water at this Marine Corps Base in North Carolina and experienced illnesses may be eligible to pursue compensation.
