Update on Research Initiatives

 

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is conducting a comprehensive review of scientific literature and potential health risks related to exposures at Camp Lejeune. NAS has indicated they are tentatively scheduled to release their review in early May 2009.  As a Registrant, you will receive a summary of this review delivered to you via standard mail and through your email address.

 

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is conducting a health study to see if there is an association between exposure to the water and certain adverse health effects. The study results are tentatively slated for release in late 2009.  As a Registrant, you will receive a copy of the study results via standard mail and email upon completion.
