[CPEO-MEF] PFAS, HEALTH: ATSDR releases Pease (NH) health study

[Lenny Siegel <LSiegel@cpeo.org>]

On January 12, 2024 the Office of Community Health Hazard Assessment of the federal Agency for Toxics Substance and Disease Registry released its “Pease Health Study: Design, Methods and Cohort Description.”

"The current research study (hereafter referred to as the “Pease Study”) is a first site and a proof-of-concept for the Multi-Site PFAS Health Study, (Human health effects of drinking water exposures to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): A multi-site cross-sectional study; hereafter, the “Multi-site Study”). The Pease Study has the main goals of evaluating 1) the methods and procedures in the study protocol to identify any issues that need to be addressed before implementing a multi-site study; and 2) the associations between specific health effects and serum PFAS concentrations among those exposed to PFAS- contaminated drinking water at Pease. The objective of this report is to describe methods, present PFAS exposure concentrations, and present descriptive data on health outcomes that were self-reported in the questionnaire and those reported by participants’ health care providers. Statistical analyses of PFAS data for associations with Pease health outcomes will be the topic of future presentations at the Pease community meeting, scientific conferences, as well as other publications.”
