Camp Lejeune Water Contamination
The Albenze Firm – Dedicated to Serving Ohio Families
Understanding the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Crisis
For decades, the U.S. Marine Corps base at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina suffered from a serious water contamination issue. Between 1954 and 1987, the base’s drinking water was contaminated with high levels of 1-Nitrosopropane (1-NP) and Trichloroethylene (TCE). These contaminants are known carcinogens and have been linked to serious health conditions in veterans and their families who drank the water.
The Albenze Firm, based in Ohio, recognizes the profound impact this contamination has had on countless individuals and families. We are committed to providing compassionate legal representation to Ohio residents who believe they have been harmed due to exposure to contaminated water while stationed at Camp Lejeune.
Key Contaminants and Their Associated Health Risks
The primary contaminants responsible for the Camp Lejeune water crisis were:
- 1-Nitrosopropane (1-NP): A potent carcinogen linked to stomach cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia.
- Trichloroethylene (TCE): A known carcinogen associated with kidney cancer, liver cancer, and other cancers.
Studies have repeatedly demonstrated a strong correlation between exposure to these contaminants and the development of serious illnesses.
