Thousands of men and women that served in the armed forces suffered toxic exposure while stationed at Fort McClellan Alabama. Fort McClellan is a base near Anniston Alabama and was closed by the EPA in 1999. ALL FACTS VERIFIABLE. Please help the veteran's get the care and benefits they deserve.

Exposure to chemicals stored at Fort McClellan, Alabama may cause a variety of health issues, including:
• Skin conditions: Acne, rashes, and other skin disorders
• Liver damage: Cancer, cirrhosis, and other damage
• Respiratory issues: Chronic respiratory illness, lung cancer, and repeated respiratory infections
• Immune system changes: Impaired immune system
• Reproductive issues: Infertility and other reproductive problems
• Other health issues: Thyroid gland injuries, behavioral changes, and more
Veterans who served at Fort McClellan and are experiencing health problems possibly related to toxic exposures may be eligible for benefits from Veterans Affairs or in very difficult cases the assistance of a litigation group specialized in toxic exposure might help.
