Mission

Civilian Exposure is a non-profit news and outreach organization. Our writing and research is made possible through reader support. We shed light on the extent of military contamination across the country, as well as the generational health impacts to all people exposed aboard US military installations. Our work honors and serves our nation's military veterans and civilian DOD personnel working at U.S. military installations, along with their families, and children in need of critical information about exposures. We expose abuses of power, betrayals of the public trust, and overall negligence by government agencies and the military, using the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform through the sustained spotlighting of wrongdoing and harm due to toxic military contamination.
