June 13, 2009 -- Strong scientific evidence is not available to determine whether health problems among those exposed to toxic chemicals in the Camp Lejeune Marine Base water supply during the 1950s to 1985 are due to the contaminants, says a new report from the National Research Council. Further research will unlikely provide definitive information, so actions to address the concerns associated with the exposures should not be deferred.
