The goal of this project was to review available literature and collect, in two stages, new data on methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in drinking water sources from community water systems (CWSs) in the United States. The two stage collection of new data was designed to provide representative information on teh frequency of detection, concentration, temporal variability, and distribution of MTBE and other gasoline oxygenates, MTBE degradation products, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in untreated groundwater and surface water sources of drinking water.
In the early 1980s, two water-supply systems on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina were found to be contaminated with the industrial solvents trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE). The water systems were supplied by the Tarawa Terrace and Hadnot Point watertreatment plants, which served enlisted-family housing, barracks for unmarried service personnel, base administrative offices, schools, and recreational areas. The Hadnot Point water system also served the base hospital and an industrial area and supplied water to housing on the Holcomb Boulevard water system (full-time until 1972 and periodically thereafter). This book examines what is known about the contamination of the water supplies at Camp Lejeune and whether the contamination can be linked to any adverse health outcomes in former residents and workers at the base.
