Navy says exposure to contaminated water not expected to have long-term health effects

TL;DR - The Navy said today there should be no long-term health effects associated with exposure to the petroleum-contaminated tap water currently affecting a large number of military households on Oahu.

“Throughout the community, we’ve been seeing concern about exposure,” said Capt. Michael McGinnis, a U.S. Pacific Fleet surgeon, during the town hall meeting. “The good news is this is self-limited. If you have persistent symptoms, absolutely come in and get evaluated, but there should be no lasting effects from that short-term exposure.”
