Topics

In 2021, Navy personnel accidentally caused two fuel leaks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility—a Navy-operated site on the island of O‘ahu. As a result, approximately 93,000 people, most affiliated with the Department of Defense, were potentially exposed to contaminated drinking water through their residence, workplace, or both. While engaging with affected community members, our expert committee will review the health risks associated with JP-5 exposure and make recommendations to the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding clinical follow-up for those exposed.
