There were multiple sources of contamination at Camp Lejeune, the main one being a dry-cleaning firm located near the military base, ABC One-Hour Cleaners, which improperly disposed of industrial solvents such as trichloroethylene, causing it to end up in the drinking water.
Furthermore, service members would clean weapons and equipment with industrial solvents, which also made their way into the water sources.
Benzene was also present in the water at the military base, most likely due to 800,000 gallons of fuel that leaked from the fuel farm of Camp Lejeune.
