It is estimated that up to 1 million marines, civilian workers, and their families have been exposed to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.  The Unites States Marine Corps acknowledges that highly toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were first identified in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune in 1982.  The drinking water from two of the water treatment plants on the base were found to have extraordinarily high levels of trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), and benzene.  For decades, TCE was used for industrial purposes and, specifically by the US military as a degreaser and solvent to clean large metal weapons and equipment.  TCE was also used as a refrigerant.  PCE was primarily used as a fabric solvent in the commercial dry cleaning industry.  The PCE contamination at the water treatment plants at Camp Lejeune was traced back to ABC One Hour Cleaners, a dry cleaning business near the military base.
