Military Toxic Exposure Map
Search military installations for documented environmental hazards, chemicals, contaminated water, PFAS, herbicides, radiation, burn pits and other potential military exposures. Compare documented periods with the dates you served.
StratForge Group is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or Department of Defense. Information in the Military Toxic Exposure Map is provided for research and educational purposes. The presence of a contaminant or environmental hazard at a military installation does not establish that an individual veteran was exposed or that a medical condition is service connected. Veterans should review the cited government sources and their individual service and medical records.

Select a marker to see the documented hazards at that installation. Markers show locations with credible government documentation of contamination, hazardous-material use, testing, storage, release, or cleanup.
Installations
Jacksonville, North Carolina, USA
Two base water systems were contaminated with industrial solvents and fuel components; VA and Congress established benefits tied to this location and period.
Jacksonville, North Carolina, USA
Served by Camp Lejeune water systems during the documented contamination period.
Anniston, Alabama, USA
Former home of the Army Chemical School; VA acknowledges possible exposure to PCBs, radiological compounds, and chemical warfare agents used in training.
Frederick, Maryland, USA
EPA Superfund site: former disposal areas contaminated groundwater with industrial solvents; historic biological research mission.
Victorville, California, USA
Closed Air Force base on the Superfund National Priorities List for solvent and fuel contamination, with later PFAS detections.
Oscoda, Michigan, USA
One of the earliest and most studied PFAS contamination sites at a U.S. military installation.
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA
A drinking water well was closed in 2014 after PFAS detections; the site anchors a federal PFAS health study.
Sacramento, California, USA
Major depot maintenance base placed on the Superfund National Priorities List for solvents, metals, fuels, and radiological materials.
Ogden, Utah, USA
Active depot installation on the Superfund National Priorities List for solvent, fuel, and chemical disposal areas.
Monterey County, California, USA
Closed Army installation on the Superfund National Priorities List for solvent-contaminated groundwater and munitions areas.
San Antonio, Texas, USA
Depot maintenance operations produced a large off-base solvent groundwater plume under cleanup.
Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Superfund installation with documented solvent, PCB, and PFAS contamination from aircraft maintenance and fire training.
San Francisco, California, USA
Former shipyard and radiological defense laboratory; Superfund site with radiological, solvent, PCB, and asbestos issues.
Portsmouth, Virginia, USA
Historic shipyard with documented asbestos, lead, PCB, and metals contamination under federal cleanup.
Yigo, Guam
Superfund installation with solvent, fuel, PCB, and PFAS issues; VA recognizes herbicide exposure in Guam for a defined period.
Marshall Islands
Nuclear test site and later radiological cleanup mission recognized by VA as a radiation-risk activity.
Almería, Spain
Site of a 1966 aircraft accident that released plutonium; VA recognizes it as a radiation-risk activity.
Greenland
1968 aircraft accident released nuclear material; VA recognizes the cleanup as a radiation-risk activity.
Uzbekistan
Former Soviet base used by U.S. forces after 2001; DoD documented fuel, solvent, chemical, and radiological contamination.
Balad, Iraq
Operated one of the largest documented military open-air burn pits during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Parwan Province, Afghanistan
Major deployment hub with documented burn pit operations and high regional particulate matter.
Da Nang, Vietnam
Herbicide storage and handling hub during the Vietnam War; a recognized dioxin hotspot under joint U.S.–Vietnam cleanup.
Udon Thani, Thailand
VA recognizes possible herbicide exposure along Thai base perimeters during the Vietnam era.
Republic of Korea
Herbicides were applied along the DMZ; VA recognizes a presumptive exposure period for service there.
Pacific Ocean (U.S. territory)
Storage and disposal site for Agent Orange and later chemical weapons destruction operations.
Oceanside, California, USA
Superfund installation with documented landfill, solvent, pesticide, and fuel contamination areas.
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA
Massachusetts Military Reservation Superfund site with fuel, solvent, and PFAS plumes affecting a sole-source aquifer.
Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
Site of a large documented jet fuel release affecting groundwater near a municipal well field.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
Air Logistics Complex on the Superfund National Priorities List for solvent and metal-plating waste.

Frequently asked questions
Does serving at a base on this map mean I was exposed?
No. The map shows installations where government sources document an environmental hazard, contaminant, or hazardous-material activity. That does not establish that any individual veteran was personally exposed or that a medical condition is service connected.
What is the difference between a documented hazard and a VA presumptive exposure?
A documented hazard means a government source recorded contamination, testing, storage, release, or cleanup at a location. A VA presumptive exposure means VA has formally established that qualifying service at a location during a defined period is presumed to involve exposure. Only a few locations and periods carry a VA presumption.
Where does the information come from?
Records cite public U.S. government sources including VA, VA Public Health, the Department of Defense and Health.mil, EPA and EPA Superfund, and ATSDR. Each record includes a View Official Source link.
Is the Military Toxic Exposure Map free?
Yes. It is a free veteran resource and no account is required. A StratForge account lets you save installations and hazards to your own claim research workspace.
