Seeking Justice For Victims Of Water Contamination At Camp Lejeune
Camp Lejeune is a Marine Corps base in North Carolina. It recently came to light that chemical contamination in the water from the 1950s through the late ’80s has led to significant and often fatal health issues for those exposed to the water during that time.

The Serious Health Effects Of Camp Lejeune Contaminated Water
For decades, Camp Lejeune’s water supply was contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including known and suspected carcinogens. The chemical contamination stemmed from multiple sources.
Those exposed to the water for at least 30 days are at higher risk of developing serious health conditions such as:
- Liver cancer
- Lung cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Breast cancer
- Esophageal cancer
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Leukemia
- Kidney disease
- Parkinson’s disease

These conditions may not develop until years or even decades after the exposure.
