toxic water at lejeune

Friends of Civilian Exposure, Happy 2018! We’re going to kick off the New Year…

At toxic cleanup sites across the country, environmental agencies have allowed groundwater contamination to go untreated and slowly diminish over time — a strategy that saves money for polluters but could cost taxpayers dearly and jeopardize drinking water supplies.

Not only do we recognize your service, we also understand the generational health catastrophe plaguing so many of you as a result of exposure to poisonous pollution and contamination aboard our U.S. military bases.  We further recognize the ongoing fight for the care and justice all people impacted so truly deserve.

Watch: Gavin P. Smith, Executive Director and Founder of Civilian Exposure, is asked to comment on the recent VA decision on Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Contamination.

Happy 2017! We’re going to kick off the New Year with more activities and projects to increase awareness for victims of Camp Lejeune contamination. As I reflect on 2016, I do so with enormous gratitude for the gift of your continued and ongoing support for the mission of Civilian Exposure.

Although this data has been posted for a while, we thought we’d share for those who have yet to see them.

This review is intended to assist the VA in making policy decision regarding the relationship between drinking water exposures to chemicals at Camp Lejeune and various health effects. The results of this review represent ATSDR’s assessment of the state of evidence at this time and we recognize that classifications used and the strength of evidence are subject to differing opinions and interpretations.
