WILMINGTON, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Ccelebrated public health advocate Erin Brockovich recently hosted a town hall in Wilmington about her years-long fight to find justice for those who fell ill after being exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Brockovich has joined forces with Camp Lejeune Legal, along with

retired Marine Master Sergeant Jerry Ensminger and "Camp Lejeune baby" and male breast cancer survivor Mike Partain, to host a series of public town halls across the country to inform those who might have been exposed about their rights.

Now, victims who lived or worked for at least 30 days at Camp Lejeune, or who were exposed in-utero, between 1953 and 1987 can take legal action against the U.S. government for their exposure to toxic water on the base.

"(This) is the largest environmental contamination in the history of the United States of America," Brockovich said. "This was a coverup. The United States Government knew and they failed to tell you, and that infuriates me."
