All twelve of the individuals tested have been exposed to PFOAK-8 through drinking water provided by the Lubeck Public Service District where, according to DuPont, the level of PFOA/C-8 in the drinking water has averaged approximately 0.5 ppb over the last several years. These individuals also claim to have stopped using the contaminated public drinking-water-astheir primary source of drinking water approximately three years ago, and switched to alternative sources, such as bottled water. Only one of the individuals (with a PFOA serum result of 90.4 ppb) ever worked WO223075.1 Dr. Charles M.
