A North Carolina senator is weighing in on the reversal of a study about water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
A 1997 public health assessment by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry found adults who drank the water did not have a significantly higher risk of cancer.
But last month, the agency decided to disavow the report after determining it was inaccurate and important information was left out.
Friday U.S. Senator Richard Burr issued this statement.
“These recent official acknowledgements are raising more questions than answers. Our government needs to honor its commitment to the Camp Lejeune veterans and their families who have endured years of pain and doubt.“
From here, the agency will try to reconstruct what happened by conducting a new drinking water pathway study.
