Camp Lejeune’s Toxic Water
Hundreds of thousands of Camp Lejeune’s service men and women and their families drank and cooked with the camp’s toxic water for a period from 1953 to 1987.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
The Marine Corps discovered in 1982 that the camp’s water was contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and had been contaminated since at least the early 1950s.The marines found benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride in the camp’s drinking water.

Thousands of veterans, their family members, staff, and various contractors were thus exposed to cancer-causing chemicals at the camp.
