Why Do People Get Sick Being Exposed to TCE, PCE and VCs?
People who are exposed to TCE, PCE and VCs have experienced many different triggers in their bodies, as a result of the exposure to toxins at Camp Lejeune. These chemicals are highly dangerous and hazardous to be exposed to in the environment. They are toxic by nature, and not meant to be ingested or swallowed by humans from drinking water in contaminated soils.
What Did the ATSDR Find in Relation to Camp Lejeune and the Presence of PCE, TCE and VC?
The ATSDR in 2012, found that some buildings on Camp Lejeune were dangerous because there were negative health effects related to exposure of the chemicals PCE, TCE and VC on that base. These exposures to the people working, living and visiting Camp Lejeune were responsible for being an increased health risk for people on the base during times of exposure.
The symptoms of disorders, diseases and syndromes associated with this exposure to the hazardous chemicals gives the individuals exposed serious, debilitating and disabling medical problems. Many of these medical issues do not have a cure, and the symptoms will necessarily reduce the person’s quality of life, or in some cases promote an early death because of the exposure to environmental toxins on Camp Lejeune’s military base.
Are There Protections for the Children Who Lived with Parents Stationed at Camp Lejeune?
Yes, there are current protections for children who lived with their parents at Camp Lejeune. They are able to file a lawsuit now, and recover compensation based on the claim that they developed Autism, Autism Spectrum and Asperger’s Syndrome from toxins in the land and water at Camp Lejeune when they lived there in the 1950s up to 1985.
Are There Also Protection for the Unborn Children of Mothers Who Were Pregnant at Camp Lejeune?
Yes, for anyone who lived at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, in Jacksonville, North Carolina, these individuals may have been exposed to dangerous chemicals, such as:
- Trichloroethylene (TCE)
- Tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
- Vinyl chloride (VC) and benzene
The presence of these chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune may have triggered the later development of Autism, Autism Spectrum and Asperger’s Syndrome in these affected individuals. For that reason, there is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act which allows anyone who lived or worked at the base from August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987, for at least 30 days to recover compensation based on that exposure.
This means that if you were exposed to the contaminated water and suffered injuries, then you may be eligible to file a claim against the U.S. government for recovery compensation based on developing Autism, Autism Spectrum and Asperger’s Syndrome because of that environmental exposure to hazardous chemicals.
You are permitted to file a claim in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Northern Carolina to recover damages and personal injuries from exposure to hazardous chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1985.
