Camp Lejeune is a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, where two of the eight water wells were contaminated with toxic chemicals. For 34 years, hundreds of thousands of Marines were put at risk for various cancers and other life-threatening illnesses.
These chemicals are typically found in cleaning solvents, and include:
These solvents have since been linked to several cancers, illnesses, and diseases. The contaminated water was found in both residential and training areas. Many veterans and their family members continue to live with the effects of these toxic chemicals today, with more than a million people estimated to be impacted.

The water at Camp Lejeune is contaminated with extremely high levels of toxic chemicals. The water contains perfluorinated compounds, which are linked to cancer and other health conditions. The contamination was caused by the Defense Department’s handling of waste that was supposed to be removed from Camp Lejeune. Instead, the Defense Department stored this waste on-site until it could be disposed of off-site. The waste contained high levels of lead and other metals, which are known carcinogens. The contamination occurred between 1957 and 1987, when more than 100,000 people lived at Camp Lejeune.
The chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune were chlorinated solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals. Chlorinated solvents were used as biocide to kill bacteria and fungi. They were also used as disinfectants, but they’re very irritating to human skin and can cause damage to your internal organs if you drink them in large quantities. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill insects or other pests that could be harmful to plants or animals. Pesticides are incredibly toxic, so it’s important not to put them into your body. They can be carcinogenic if you inhale or eat them.
Heavy metals are toxic substances that come from natural sources like soil and rocks, but they’re also found in industrial processes like manufacturing and mining. Heavy metals can harm your health in many ways: they may cause cancer or lead to Alzheimer’s disease; they may affect your ability to think clearly; they may interfere with the way your body functions (like your nervous system).
Goldberg, Persky & White P.C. Client
“It has been a pleasure working with you. You handled my father’s case very professionally and, considering the emotional aspects, very personally. Over a year ago, prior to the diagnosis, my father handed me a page torn from the Yellow Pages showing the ad for Goldberg, Persky & White. He told me that Goldberg, Persky was the company that I should contact if he gets sick. As usual, he gave me good advice.”

“When my husband and I had our first meeting with an Attorney from your office I had no idea of the excellent service that I was about to receive. It has been 12 years since my Husband died and thanks to your firm I have been able to live a comfortable life. Six years ago I found that I no longer could continue to take care of my home, that is when I moved to Calif to be near my youngest son. I moved into a 55+ Village, a very unusual one with over 18000 residents, 210 clubs and organizations, so I am able to keep quite active.”
