Transgenerational Health Outcomes Following Occupational Exposure to Camp Lejeune Water Contamination
(2026-11-10) Bush, Catherine; Jones, Tatiana; Imai, Satomi; Shearman, Sachiyo
From 1953-1987, CL water was highly contaminated with various chemicals, causing adverse health effects in exposed military personnel and their families. Interviews captured demographics, health conditions, and quality-of- life data of unexposed descendants. Among 26 participants, there was an average of 9.5 health conditions reported, with 30.6% having conditions related to the reproductive system. Anger (26.2%) and grief (21.5%) were the most frequently reported quality of life categories. This is one of the first studies to examine potential health effects of CL water contamination on descendants compared to directly exposed individuals.
