In this episode, we tackle toxic military chemical contamination at base locations across the country. This week, we discuss the civilian mortality study on Camp Lejeune workers and their exposures to TCE, vinyl chloride, benzene and other chemicals in the drinking water supply. We also dive deeper into TCE (trichloroethylene) to understand the dangers of various types of short and long-term exposures to the chemical, including health issues derived from long-term exposure.

Civilian Exposure is a fully tax-exempt, non-profit news and outreach organization. Our writing and research is made possible through reader support.

We are dedicated to shedding light on the extent of military contamination, as well as the generational health impacts to all people exposed. Our work honors and serves our nation’s military veterans and civilian DOD personnel working aboard US military installations, along with their families and children, in need of critical information about exposures.

Mission

To expose abuses of power, betrayals of the public trust, and overall negligence by government agencies and the military, using the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform through the sustained spotlighting of wrongdoing and harm due to toxic military contamination.
