Find out how we can help.
Contaminated Water at Camp Lejeune
Thousands of marines, their families, and workers at Camp Lejeune drank toxic water while living or working on base.
Studies show that the chemicals found in the water were hundreds to thousands of times above the levels deemed to be safe.
As a result, those who lived and worked on Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina have shown a significantly increased risk of serious medical conditions including several kinds of cancers, Parkinson’s disease, or other conditions.
