Those who served at Camp Lejeune before 1987 urged to join list

Published by kvstark on

The Marine Corps encourages all those who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune before 1987 to register to receive notifications regarding Camp Lejeune Historic Drinking Water. Please encourage family or friends who were at Camp Lejeune during this period to also join the Notification Registry.

The Department of the Navy is funding two independent research initiatives. The CDC Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is conducting a health study to determine if there is an association between in-utero exposure to the water and certain adverse health effects. The National Academy of Sciences National Research Council (NRC) has reviewed scientific evidence on associations between adverse health effects and historical data.

Individuals registered with the official Camp Lejeune Historic Drinking Water Registry will receive the public summary of the NRC committee report through the United States Postal Service.  Please allow time for delivery of the public summary. In the interim, you may access documents at the NRC website at  http://nationalacademies.org/morenews/20090613.html
