Neurobehavioral Effects Linked To Contaminated Water At Camp Lejeune
An increased risk of neurobehavioral effects and other behavioral disorders has been identified by medical professionals who’ve studied the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The NRC does not include Parkinson’s Disease on their report, but other literature has recommended including Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, Alzheimer’s and other neurological effects as “neurobehavioral effects.”
Neurobehavioral impacts are especially prevalent in children that lived at Camp Lejeune, who are now adults and dealing with related symptoms over the course of their lives.
What Chemicals in the Camp Lejeune Drinking Water are Linked to Neurobehavioral Effects?
The NRC concluded that organic solvent exposure, particularly tetrachlorethylene (PCE or PERC) and trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination, is likely to blame for the higher rates of neurobehavioral effects in former Camp Lejeune residents.
The toxic solvents that contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune most likely originated from an off base dry cleaner located near Tarawa Terrace Water Treatment Plant.
Neurobehavioral Effects Experienced by Those Stationed at Camp Lejeune
Current VA clinical guidance does not include neurobehavioral effects overall on its list of presumptive health conditions related to Camp Lejeune, but does list Parkinson’s Disease.
Deficits in attention, reaction time, visuomotor coordination, motor function, digit symbol, and contrast sensitivity
Certain neuropsychological disorders such as learning or behavioral disorders.
The NRC report separates neurobehavioral effects from other neurological impacts like Parkinson’s Disease and nervous system related disabilities.
Neurobehavioral effects have been experienced by those exposed to contaminated water as adults, children, and in-utero (unborn children).
Life Impacts of Neurobehavioral Effects
Neurobehavioral effects can greatly impact one’s quality of life, and the severity at which we have seen these neurobehavioral effects manifest in Camp Lejeune victims is staggering.
The variety of such neurobehavioral symptoms linked to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune have resulted in life impacts such as loss of consortium and enjoyment of life, lost earning ability or wages, major medical expenses for health monitoring and testing, and more.
The broad nature of neurobehavioral effects and their diagnoses have made it difficult for victims to identify the source of their health conditions.
Testing for Neurobehavioral Effects and Their Relation to Chemical Exposures
These neurobehavioral effects and their links to certain toxic chemicals are categorized and able to be tested for by multiple health agencies.
If you believe you’re suffering from neurobehavioral effects as a result of toxic exposure, consult with your doctor on the best route forward in terms of testing and diagnosis.
If you or a loved one lived at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between 1953 and 1987, and have subsequently experienced neurobehavioral effects or neurobehavioral deficits, you may qualify for a lawsuit.
Camp Lejeune Neurobehavioral Effects Lawsuit
With the Senate passage of the PACT Act, and the imminent signing of the bill into law by President Biden, Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuits are able to be filed by any person exposed to contaminated water at the Marine Corps base between 1953 and 1987.

Trichloroethylene (TCE)

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Renal Toxicity
Multiple Myeloma
Parkinson’s disease
Miscarriage, infertility and birth defects
Many more diagnoses
Service members, their families, civilian workers, and countless others were diagnosed with deadly health conditions, and for years could not secure the benefits they desperately need.
What Is The Camp Lejeune Justice Act Aiming To Do?
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a new piece of legislation that is soon to be signed into law by President Biden.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act affords Camp Lejeune residents the ability to sue and recover damages for exposure to the toxic substances in the water supply, one of the first times the federal government has allowed legal action of this sort.
Camp Lejeune veterans and Camp Lejeune families will be able to secure compensation for health problems and medical expenses related to the toxic chemicals they were exposed to while living on the base.
Those eligible will file suit in the U.S. District Court: Eastern District of North Carolina.
In the past, several bills were introduced to address the issue at the North Carolina military base, but none have had any widespread impact for victims and families.
Now, people who were denied benefits or compensation in the past may have a fair shot at adequate compensation.
At TorHoerman Law, we believe that if we continue to focus on the people that we represent, and continue to be true to the people that we are – justice will always be served.
