[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

This is from the web site of the Georgia Tech Multimedia Environmental 
Simulations Laboratory http://mesl.ce.gatech.edu/

Flawed NRC Report misrepresents the Findings of the ATSDR Study:

The Camp Lejeune, NC site is being studied by the Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry, CDC (ATSDR/CDC) to identify if there 
were historical exposure to contaminated water at the site. For more 
details of this study you may visit the ATSDR web site to download the 
reports published by ATSDR and other facts of this health effects study.

More recently, the National Research Council (NRC) was requested to 
conduct a review of the ATSDR study on Camp Lejeune by the Department of 
Navy, under a mandate by the U.S. Congress (Public Law 109-364, Section 
318). The NRC report was released on Saturday July 13, 2009. You may 
download the report here: (NRC 2009).

A review of this report [by Mustafa Aral] indicate that scientific 
findings of the ATSDR study on Camp Lejeune, NC, are misrepresented and 
mischaracterized in the NRC 2009 report. Download the critique of the 
NRC 2009 report [from http://mesl.ce.gatech.edu/ARAL_Review_2009.pdf], 
and reach your own conclusions about the case.
