"In the early 1980s at the Marine Corps Base in Lejeune, NC, it was discovered that two on-base water-supply systems were contaminated with the volatile organic compounds trichloroethylene (TCE), a metal degreaser, and perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry cleaning agent. Benzene, vinyl chloride, and other compounds were also found to be contaminating the water supply systems. The water systems were contaminated from August 1953 through December 1987".
Unfortunately, there is a huge lag between the time it was discovered to the time information was
