    From 1953 to 1987, the two water supply systems at the United States Marine Corps base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina were believed to be contaminated with unacceptable levels of toxic substances such as Benzene, Tetrachloroethylene (PCE), Trichloroethylene (TCE), Trans-1,2-dichlorethylene (DCE), and vinyl chloride. These toxins have been linked to cancer and many other conditions.

    Because of the new law, current and former service members, their spouses and children, other civilians who were exposed can now seek financial compensation by filing a Camp Lejeune lawsuit.
