My name is Audrey and I watch your news very often. I watched a report that was done on Camp Lejeune contaminated water. It mainly talked about the forgotten military veterans. What happened to the story on the forgotten babies that died?

The following is a personal story submitted to Civilian Exposure and published as part…

The United States Air Force, the U.S. Army and regional police and fire departments conducted extensive nuclear, chemical and biological warfare, hazardous material incident response, explosive ordinance disposal training, emergency medical and emergency rescue training from before World War II until after Operation Desert Storm.

What about service members like me? I’m trying to get tested for PCE and TCE. What can I do? That’s a good question. Unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done unless your exposure is immediate. If the exposure happened years (or decades) ago, such as the case with Camp Lejeune victims, then it is likely that it will be very hard to locate traces of the chemicals in your system today. However, that doesn’t mean that damage from exposure doesn’t exist.

Recently, we received a request to look closer into the effects of chemical contamination exposures and fertility. Two chemicals of note, TCE and PFOS, were mentioned. We found some interesting studies/research on both (some provided by readers) that documents some of the threats of chemical exposure to fertility. More importantly, they also bear out a couple of already widely held beliefs about the transferability of these toxins from generation to generation.

As of March 14, the recent VA Rule to establish presumptive status for 8 illnesses for military service members exposed at Lejeune went into effect.

If you ask the VA or military, they will simply use that number to claim that the impact on families at Lejeune must be negligible at best. Unfortunately, we know all too well about the lack of outreach and information sharing from the military since the 1980s, including delays and denials of information and data in the early 80s.
