Navy funded study can't find link between Lejeune and disease? That's a shocker!

Study: No clear link between Lejeune water, disease
Monday, June 15, 2009


JACKSONVILLE, NC — A new National Research Council report has concluded that although evidence exists that people who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune Marine Base in North Carolina between the 1950s and 1985 were exposed to industrial solvents in their water supply, “strong scientific evidence is not available to determine whether health problems among those exposed are due to the contaminants.”



A National Research Council committee, headed by David A. Savitz of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York City, wrote the 341-page report, Contaminated Water Supplies at Camp Lejeune — Assessing Potential Health Effects. The report, sponsored by the US Department of the Navy, was presented during a June 13 briefing at the USO of North Carolina in Jacksonville. The National Research Council operates under the auspices of The National Academies.



The report also states that further research is unlikely to provide “definitive information on whether exposure resulted in adverse health effects in most cases.” As a result, the committee recommended the Navy and Marine Corps pursue policy changes or administrative actions to address and resolve the concerns associated with the exposures.
