If you, a friend, or a loved one have been injured or have passed away due to exposure to contamination at a DOD Superfund Site, please follow the steps outlined on the "Get Help" page.

Tabitha,
I am not a doctor or attorney, and cannot give medical advice or legal advice.
I know that the Army / Air Force liberally used extremely toxic chlordane and other organochlorine pesticides (“OCPs”) at ALL of the older buildings.
The Air Force found 500x safe levels of both aldrin and dieldrin and 15x the safe level of chlordane at the Base Family Housing in 2002 and did not bother to notify us.
See: http://www.basefamilyhousing.info/#george
The Air Force has refused to test for these extremely toxic organochlorine pesticides at the Base Schools, Day care, Barracks, and Dorms at George AFB.
See: http://www.basefamilyhousing.info/#schools
Please forward this information to your friends from the schools and post the information on Facebook.
If you are concerned about the unsafe levels of Chlordane and other organochlorine pesticides (“OCPs”) the most current information is at http://www.basefamilyhousing.info/
If you are sick or you think you may have been injured, please follow the steps that are outlined @ http://georgeafb.info/can-get-help-others/ and follow the directions in the section “I was stationed at George AFB and I am sick” to get evaluated for a toxic exposure by the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC) nearest you.
See: http://www.aoec.org/directory.htm The AOEC does offer low-cost or no-cost workups.
IF the AOEC does find a potential connection between your health problems and an exposure at the George AFB schools, it is VERY important that you contact an attorney immediately because there is a limited timeframe to take legal action. I would recommend using the Martindale-Hubbell Find Lawyers and Law Firms @ http://www.martindale.com/Find-Lawyers-and-Law-Firms.aspx to look for a law firm in your state with an AV rating.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
