5 ways people were exposed to toxins at Camp Lejeune

For over 30 years the water supply at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was contaminated with toxic chemicals such as trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, vinyl chloride and other industrial solvents, compounds, and chemicals. This contamination affected over 1 million people who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune, 1953-1987.

Here are five ways people could have been exposed to toxic substances at Camp Lejeune:

Drinking contaminated water or using it in cooking. The main source of exposure for those stationed at Camp Lejeune was through the consumption of contaminated drinking water. The water was contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE).
Bathing or showering in contaminated water.
Inhaling contaminated vapors. VOCs such as TCE can evaporate and produce harmful vapors. Those working near contaminated water sources or using certain cleaning products were at risk of inhaling these vapors.
Skin contact with contaminated water. Exposure could also occur through contact with contaminated water through the skin. This was a risk for those who swam or participated in water activities in the contaminated water sources.
Working with hazardous materials. Some personnel working at Camp Lejeune were exposed to hazardous materials such as benzene, which was used in fuel and other products, and asbestos, which was present in building materials.
