This Christmas, as we gather with our families and reflect on the year that has been, I am reminded that while some progress and discussions continue, the poisoning of a significant group of people exposed at Camp Lejeune remains largely unaddressed and justice unresolved.

Currently, there are 157 federal sites on the full list, with another 4 proposed to be added.  As we continue our research, we will add additional sites and details for each.

After months of research and data collection, a finalized study and findings has just been published by the Environmental Health Journal.  The study, carried out by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has been a long awaited study for civilians who served aboard Camp Lejeune and were potentially exposed to contaminated water.  Benzene, TCE, PCE and more are reported to have contaminated water supplies aboard the Marine Corps base in NC for decades starting in the 1950s.
