Along the same lines, the last sentenceofthe fifth paragraph on page 3 states, "PFOA was not measured directly" in the medical surveillance exams. This is not correct. In fact, page 17 of the assessment,in paragraph 3, provides worker serum data from the medical surveillance.
`Total organic fluorine in the serum was measured in Cottage Grove workers in
1990, but PFOA was measured in the serum for Cottage Grove employees in 1993, 1995

I. `COMMENTS ON MORTALITY STUDY
Mortality experience at the Cottage Grove plant where 3M manufactured and processed PFOA was studied in'1992 by Gilliland as his Ph.D. dissertation. That study
`was subsequently published as Gilliland and Mandel (1993). The study used duration of employment in the "Chemical Division," meaning the entire Cottage Grove facility and. not just the PFOA production buildings within that complex, as an (inexact) surrogate for exposure, and did not include any actual exposure data. The mortality study was recently
