According to recent reporting by the <em>Insurance Journal<\/em>, the company carried out its missile maintenance duties at a semi rural location near Duncan, OK, from 1965 to 1991. The site was shut down part way into the 1990s.  <\/p>\n<p>The company admitted that an ingredient to the missile fuel (ammonium perchlorate which is a salt that is easily assimilated into water) was found in the ground and in nearby residential water sources near the work site. It also said that it was in the process of assessing the degree of tainting to the water, and would provide bottled water in the interim, and potentially a temporary safe water system if necessary. It did not release a liability and property damage speculations; however, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claims it has made estimates.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Beginning last month, the injury lawsuits filed on the federal and state level state that the victims have been afflicted with medical issues, including thyroid problems (which has been linked to sustained perchlorate exposure), as a result of the contamination. The lawsuits claim that the company was aware of this problem, as well as others involving the release of radioactive and nuclear waste into the earth, for which Halliburton failed to take proper cautionary action to protect the local residents.
