To All

Morning, recently I received a few emails about poisonous chemicals at Ft. McClellan and decided to do my own investigation/inquiry as to what was going on, as a result a came up with much information which was very alarming. As a person who does not pass out much emails based on hearsay or spam, I thought this one would be of great significance. I was station in the beginning of my military career first at Ft McClellan and Then at Camp Lejeune during the times of which the toxic chemicals were in effect. This is a bit scary for me for I do not know what to actually resulting from at these findings where I was station at the times there. I pieced together links of importance for all to note and share with our fellow military members.

Respectfully Submitted

Fort McClellan: More Toxic Than Camp Lejeune?

Fort McClellan, Alabama - A US Army military post (closed now as an active Army installation) located adjacent to the town of Anniston, Alabama. It was once the home of the Women’s Army Corps (WACs), the US Army Military Police School, and the US Army Chemical School. It was also an Army Basic Training Center.

Monsanto - A large multi-national biotechnology corporation. Known for creating and/or producing various pesticides and herbicides over the years, including DDT, Agent Orange, and PCBs.

PCBs - Polychlorinated Biphenyls. According to Wiki: "PCBs were widely used as coolant fluids, in transformers, capacitors, and electric motors. Due to PCBs' toxicity and classification as a persistent organic pollutant, PCB production was banned by the US Congress in 1979. Concerns about the toxicity of PCBs are largely based on compounds within this group that share a structural similarity and toxic mode of action with dioxin. Toxic effects such as endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity are also associated with other compounds within the group."
