Camp Lejeune Parkinson's disease claims

Every year, 60,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease nationwide. This disorder is caused by a loss of neurons in a part of the brain known as the substantia nigra, which results in symptoms such as tremors in the hands, slowed movement, impaired balance, speech changes, and rigid muscles. Roughly 110,000 veterans with Parkinson's disease receive treatment from the VA healthcare system every year, some of whom were stationed at Camp Lejeune while the drinking water was contaminated with volatile organic compounds.

Trichloroethylene, a degreasing solvent in metal cleaning that has been extensively used on military bases such as Camp Lejeune to remove lubricants from parts while conducting repairs or maintenance, was found to cause multiple types of neurological deficits, including Parkinson's disease, at low exposure levels. The solvent can cause neurotoxicity, which can eventually lead to Parkinson's disease. Recent observations suggest a strong association between long-term exposure to trichloroethylene and the development of parkinsonism.
