Up to 600,000 troops might have been exposed to toxic chemicals on military bases nationwide
The presence of these hazardous substances on military bases only worsened the extent of toxic exposure service members experienced, which makes veterans more likely to develop serious diseases today. Because toxic exposure causes health problems only within several years to several decades, it was only recently that veterans came to struggle with life-threatening diseases.
If you were stationed at a military facility with known toxic contamination and have a qualifying diagnosis, do not hesitate to reach out to our attorneys, as you might be eligible to file a military base toxic exposure claim. While perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of over 9,000 dangerous chemicals known as PFAS, were the main contaminants on military bases across the country, other toxic substances lurked on these facilities during the last century.
Many of these harmful chemicals are carcinogens and teratogens, meaning that exposure can result in malignant diseases and congenital malformations. The following are other toxic chemicals present on military bases:
- acetone
- benzene
- 2-butanone
- carbon tetrachloride
- trichloroethylene
- perchloroethylene
- chlordane
- 1,2- dichloroethane
- methylene chloride
- polychlorinated biphenyl
- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
- tetrachloroethylene
- toluene
- vinyl chloride
- halogenated hydrocarbons
- trihalomethanes
- xylene
