Historicalelmyp,loyeesatthe3M Decaturchemicapllanthavevoluntariplayrticipaitned a biennialfluorochemicalmedical surveillancperogram. Totalorganicfluorinewas measured until1994 when perfluorooctanesulfona(tPeFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) were assayed. However, thevoluntarynatureof themedicalsurveillance program does not necessarilpyrovide foran adequateunderstandingof the distributioonf fluorochemicalserum levelsintheDecatur workforce. Therefore,thepurpose of this assessmentwas torandomly sample employees attheDecatur chemical plantinorderto determinethe distributioonf employee serum fluorochemicallevelsaccordingtojobs, buildinglocationsand yearsworked. The overallgeometricmean of serum PFOS in chemicalplantemployees was 0.944 ppm. (95% CI 0.787-1.126).The highestserum PFOS valuemeasured was 10.600ppm. Among filmplantemployees,the overall geometricmean of serum PFOS was 0.136 ppm (95% Cl 0.114-0.161).Approximately 1/3ofthesefilmplantemployees had pastwork historyexperienceinthe chemical plant. The distributioonf serum PFOS levelsinthisrandorrisample assessmentwere similarto thoseobserved through the voluntarymedical surveillancperogram. Because of analyticaclhemistrymethod development,the studyalsoassayed fivefluorochemicals thathad not been previouslyassayed. Resultsfrom thisassessmentwillbe used to constructan exposure matrixintheupdated retrospectivceohortmortalitystudy ofthe 3M Decatur employee population. The datawillalsobe used torationalizseubcohort

To addr-estshefirstwo pointsintheabove paragraph,we need to determinethe

development. Brieflyw,e assumed,basedon pastmedicalsurveillancdeata,thatthe
mean serum PFOS levelsof thechemicalplantemployee populationis1.85ppm. We do
not know what themean serum PFOS levelisoffilmplantemployees. However, pooled
serum datasuggeststhattheU.S.generalpopulationserum PFOS levelisin therange of
20 ppb to40 ppb. Therefore,we assumed thleDecaturfilmplantpopulationwillhave a
mean higherthanthegeneralpopulationbecauseof itsphysicalproximityto thechemical
plant.Ifthemean serum PFOS levelforthefilmplantpopulationwas assumed tobe
200 ppb,themean differencbeetween thechemicaland filmplantpopulationwould be

Thus, toobtaina lower 95% confidencebound of 1.50ppm, based on a mean difference of 1.65ppm, 33 employees inthefilmplantand 33 employees in thechemical plantwill have to have theirserum PFOS levelsdetermined.As can be seenfrom theabove chart, thesample sizebecomes increasingllyargeas thelower 95% confidencebound becomes closertotheactualmean differencoef1.65ppm. Data inAppendix A alsoprovide sample sizecalculationisfthefilmplantemployee populationisassumed to have a highermean serum PFOS level(300ppb). Inthiscase,toobtaina lower 95% confidence bound of 1.50ppm, based on a mean differencoef 1.55ppm (1.85ppm minus 300 ppb),a totalsample sizeof 760 employeesisrequiredfrom bothplants.Ifthisisreducedtoa lower95% confidencebound of 1.4fora mean differencoef 1.55ppm, a much smaller sample sizeisrequired(atotalof 125 employeesfrom bothplants).There isa degreeof uncertaintiynestimatingf,orstatisticsalmple sizeconsiderationw,hat themean serum PFOS levelof the filmplantpopulationisbecauseapproximately10 percentof thefilm plantemployees may have priorwork experienceinthechemicalplant.
Inorderto addressthethirdissue(samplesizeshouldadequatelycharacteriztehe exposurelevelswithinthechemicalplantworkplace)w,e proposetostratiftyherandom

An importantcaveatthatmust be consideredisthattheabove sample size calculationhsave used serum PFOS levelsfrom previousvoluntarysamples toestimate mean and standarddeviatiotvialuesforserum levelsofthischemical.However, inthis studywe willmeasure forfivespecififcluorochemical(sperfluorooctanseulfonateamide, theglycinederivativoef perfluorooctanseulfonateN,-ethylperfluorooctanesulfonamido ethanoland N-methyl perfluomoctanesulfonamideothanol)aboutwhich we have no informationa,tthistime,as to serum levelsI.tissuspectedthatthesechemicals arenot persistenats theyaremetabolizedtoPFOS; thusany differencbeetween serum levelsin employees in thefilmand chemicalplantsmay be quitesmall.

Introduction
The sample sizecalculationasrebased on theanalysisof datafrom a non-random voluntarysample from thechemicalplantinDecatur.There was a totalof 96 .observationosn PFOS levelsand 95 on PFOA levels.Table I givesthe summary .statistoincseach distributionT.able2 givesthesummary ofthelogdistribution. FiguresI and 2 are thesmoothed naturaldistributiofnosrPFOS and PFOA, respectively, and Figures3 and 4 areforthelogarithmicounterpartsN.ote thatthe logdistributions aremore symmetric thattheInaturaslcalevariables.The sample sizefocused on the PFOS levels.
Method
The sample sizeisdrivenby theneed toprovideconfidencethattheexposure inthefilm plantisverysmallrelativteothatof thechemicalplant.As shown in Table 1,themean PFOS levelinthevoluntarysamplesis1.855ppm and theacceptablelevelforthefilm plantisbelow thatand expectedtobe in therange200-300ppb.The statistiocf interest forthesample sizeisthedifferencbeetween thechemicalplant(assumed to have a mean of 1.855ppm) and thefilmplant(assumedtohave a mean of0.2-0.3ppm).The objectis tocompute thesample sizenecessarytoproduce 95% confidencethatthe differenceisat leastdelta,in ordertoplacethefilmplantmean exposurewellbelow thatof thechemical plant.Ifsuchconfidencedoes notresultt,henfurtherstudyof thefilmplantexposuresis warranted.
The sample sizecalculationwsere carriedout by assumingthatthelog of the concentratiownas normallydistributebda,sed on Figure3,and thatthestandarddeviation on thelogscalewas 1,regardlessof themean, based on Table 2. Note thatboth PFOS and PFOA, whileshowing differenmtean values,bothhave a standarddeviationof about 1,even though themeans and medians arequitedifferent
In orderto perform theanalysison thelogscale,themeans had tobe transformedtothe logscale,by solvingtheformula
E(X)=exp(mu+sigma2l2),
formu where E(X) isthemean on theoriginaslcale,and mu and signia= I arethemean and standarddeviationon thelogscale.For example,undertheassumption thatthe naturalmean is0.2ppm themean forthelogPFOS levelinthefilmplantwould be ln(O.2)- sigma2l2= -2.10944.

Standardsample sizecalculationwsere performed usingS-Plus4.5 and thetransformed means, and sigma = 1.
Results
Table 3 givessample sizesbased on thelower 95% confidencebound forthe difference inmean PFOS levelbetween thechemicalplantand thefilmplantbeing atleastdelta. Sample sizeswere calculatedassuming means of 200ppb and 300ppb forthefilmplant. For 300ppb thesample sizesaregiven withdeltaequalto 1.0through 1.5ppm in O.Ippm steps,and for200ppb, with deltaequalto 1.2through 1.6and to 1.55.Sample sizesgiven arethesum from both plantsassumingequal samples from each,i.e.t,hetablegivesN where N=2n,=2n2, where niisthesamplefi-omplanti= filmorchemical.So,for example,ifthefilmplanthas a truelevelof 200ppb,thentheexpectedlowerconfidence bound on thedifferencewould be 1.55ifthetotalsample sizewere 122,61 from each plant.
Recommendation
A lowerconfidencebound of 1.55ppm,which would assurethatthefilmplanthas an upperbound of 300ppb (orabout0.5ppm) ifthetrueconcentratiownere 200ppb, is achievablewith 125 from bothplants.Ifthe,truceoncentratiownere 300ppb, a lower bound of 455ppb could be attainedwitha similarsample size.Given thatnearly100 volunteerswere obtainedpreviouslyt,hisalsoseems likea feasiblenumber of employees inwhom tofocussolicitatieofnforts.

ABSTRACT
3M EPI-0006 Page 3 of 85
In the past,employees atthe 3M Decatur chemical planthave voluntarily
participateidn a fluorochemicalmedical sur-veillanpcreogram. Analysis of the
surveillancedata has not shown significantassociationsbetween theemployees' clinical
chemistry and hematology testsand eithertotalserum organic fluorineor serum PFOS
(perfluorooctanesulfonate)levels.However, thevoluntarynatureof the historical
medical surveillanceprogram did not provide fora complete understanding of the
distributioonf fluorochemicalserum levelsin theDecatur workforce. Therefore,the
purpose of thisstudy was to collectdataby randomly sampling employees in theDecatur
chemical plantin order to determine the distributioonf employee serum fluorochemical
levelsaccordingto demographics, currentand longestheldjobs, years worked and
buildinglocations.In addition,a random sample of theneighboring3M Decatur film
plantemployee population,located atthe same site,was testedto determine
fluorochemicalserum levelsin order to characterizethedifferencesbetween thetwo
plantpopulations.
A totalof 232 employees was randomly selectedforserum sampling: 186 (80%)
participateidn the blood collectionwhich occurted in theFall,1998. An additional77
employees requestedblood testingforthe determinationof fluorochemicallevels.Of the
random sample of employees who participated1,26 were from the chemical plantand 60
from the film plant. There were 61 volunteersfrom chemical and 16 volunteersfrom
film;thus,allchemical participantnsumbered 'L87employees and allfilm participants
numbered 76 employees. At thetime of blood collectione,mployees responded to a two-

However, sera from chemicaloperatorsand maintenanceworkershad thehighestlevelsof other fluorochemicaalnalytes(PFOSAA, M570, PFOSA and M556) acharacteristliickelydue totheirwork inBuildings3 and 4N withfluorochemicalalcoholsa,mides and acrylates. For example,chemicaloperatorshad a geometricmean levelof 0.131 ppm forM570 compared to0.033ppm forcelloperators0,.042formilloperatorsand 0.079ppm for wasteoperators.POAA levelswere abovethegeometricmean of 1.000ppm for employeeswith currentjobsofcelloperators(1.428ppm), chemicaloperators(1.887 ppm),maintenanceworkers(1.095ppm) ,milloperators(1.266ppm) and waste operators(1.542ppm). Employees withthejob categorieosf engineer/laabnd secretary
3M EPI-0006 Page 6 of 85 had the lowest serum fluorochemicallevels. PFHS, and to a lesserextentPFOS, were positivelyassociatedwith yearsworked in the chemical plant.The remaining fluorochemicalanalyteswere not routinelyassociatedwith years worked in thechemical plantby job categories.We did not observe an associationbetween hand-to-mouth usage or hand cleanliness(frequencyof washing hands) and serum fluorochemicallevels. Like theirmale counterparts,female chemical operatorsappeared to have increasedPFHS levelswith yearsworked. However, unliketheirmale counterparts, therewas no apparent modest linearassociationbetween PFOS and years worked among female chemical operators.Whether thisisdue to differentwork practicese,xposure patternsor pharmacokinetics once absorbed,remains to be determined. The sample size itsel(fn = 10 female chemical operatorsin random sample),isan important,limiting factorin theinterpretatioonf these data. The data also indicatesignificantllyower serum fluorochemicallevelsamong employees who have only worked in the filmplant (i.e.d,efinedas those employees in the random sample who have worked only in the film plantwith no priorwork on the D-1 maker locatedin the film plantor previouswork historyin chemical.The D- I maker uses FX-1801,amethylFOSEarnide). There were significantlyower serum fluorochemical levelsamong theseemployees who have only worked in the,film plantwhen compared to those who arecurrent'Chemicalplantemployees. Comparing the geometric means for each fluorochemical from the random sample of chemical operatorsand those employees who only have worked in thefilm plant,we observed the followingratios(inppm): PFOS (1.481/0.110)P;FHS (0.428/0.015)P;OAA (1.887/0.052)P;FOSAA (0.011/0.002); M570 (0.229/0.022);and M556 (0.044/0.003)E.xcept forPFOSAA, theseratiossuggest a 10-foldor greaterdifferencebetween chemical operatorsand film plantemployees who
3M EPI-0006 Page7of85 work severalhundredyardsaway from Building3. Thisonlyfilmplantemployee group had a geometric mean value forPFOS thatisapproximately 3-4 times higherthan the pooled geometric mean (0.029 ppm) from 64 samples obtainedfrom 18 U.S. blood banks. Thus, we suspect thatoccupationalexposure to PFOS does occur within the film plantalthough at much lower levelsthan among employees working atthe chemical plant.Additionallyemployees who worked on theD-1 maker have serum PFOS levels approximately 3 times higherthan thoseemployees who have never worked on theD-1 maker nor have worked in the chemical plant(i.e.t,he only filmplantemployees). We did not observe an associationbetween hand-to-mouth usage or hand cleanliness(frequencyof washing hands) and serum fluorochemicallevels.Itispossible an associationmight have been masked because industriahlygiene had instituteadn aggressiveeducationalcampaign severalmonths priorto thecollectionof blood samples in thisstudy;thus currentpracticesmay not be indicativeof pastpractices.Because the half-lifoef PFOS isestimatedto be 1000 days or more, such an associationmay not be discoverablewith thisstudy design. A limitationto thisstudy design which must be considered in theinterpretatioonf the datawas our inabilittyo more accuratelyquantifyan employee's work history experience.Decatur work historyrecordsprovide department numbers andjob titlebsut they do not provide informationregardingwhere someone worked (e.g.w,hat building(s) or with what specificfluorochemicals)S.elf-reportedwork historyinformationobtained by questionnairewas highlycorrelatedwith Decatur work historyrecordinformation; nevertheless,the specificitoyf where someone worked and with what chemicals was not known. Because many operationsarein batch mode, the likelihoodof determining specificitoyf historicawlorkload fluorochemicalexposure among chemical operators
was notpossible.

INTRODUCTION
3M EPI-0006 Page 9 of 85
In the past,employees atthe 3M Decatur chemical planthave voluntarily
participateidn a fluorochemical medical surveillanceprogram. The surveillanceprogram
analyzed fortotalserum organic fluorinelevelsuntilthe mid-1990's when serum perfluorooctanesulfonate(PFOS) and perfluorooctanoicacid(POAA) determination, quantifiableby high performance liquidchromatography mass spectrometry,became incorporatedin thebiennialmedical surveillancexaminations. Analysisof the surveillancedata has not shown significanatssociationsbetween the employees' clinical chemistry and hematology testsand eithertotalserum organicfluorinelevels[Roach, 1982; Schuman, 1982] or serum PFOS levels[Olsen et al.,1999]. However, the voluntarynatureof the medical surveillanceprogram may not lend itselfto an appropriatecharacterizatioonf the distributioonf fluorochemicalserum levelsas itisnot based on random sampling methods. Therefore,thepurpose of thisstudy was to collect data from thenecessary distributiobny randomly sampling employees in theDecatur chemical plantin order to determine thedistributioonf employee serum fluorochemical levelsaccording to demographics, currentand longestheldjobs, yearsworked and buildinglocations.In addition,a random sample of theneighboring3M Decatur film plantemployee population,locatedatthe same site,was testedto detem-iine fluorochemicalserum levelsin order to characterizethedifferencesbetween thetwo
plantpopulations. The filmplantemployees have served as a comparison populationin a prior
healthstudy(Mandel and Johnson, 1995) due to their(assumed) nonoccupational exposure to fluorochen-@cals.However, theiractualserum fluorochemical levelshad not been discerned.Epidemiologic studiesattheDecatur plantcan be more fullyappreciated

The threemajor products produced in thechemical plantareprotectivechemicals,
performance chemicals,and fluoroelastomers.The threeproduct groups are referredto
as focus factories.Fluorochemicals identifiedin thisstudy are used in allfocus factory
groups to some extent. Production forallfocus factoriestakesplace in Buildings 2, 3, 4,
3 8,40, 42, 49, 51 and 6 1. The chemical plant'smain officeareas,warehouse and quality
controllabsare locatedin Building 1. The chemical plant'sdining facilitaynd locker
rooms are locatedin Building 3 1.
Raw materialsand intermediatesforeach product group may flow through many
differentproductionbuildingsbeforethey arepackaged forshipping.The flow of
protectivechemicals follow a path startingatBuilding 3 to Buildings2 or 49 to Buildings
3, 4, 38 or 5 1. The protectivechemicals group istheprimary producer of
perfluorooctanesulfonylfluoride(POSF) and perfluorohexanesulfonylfluoride(PHSF)
based chemistry. Octyl mercaptan or hexyl mercaptan isreactedwith chlorineand
ammonium fluorideto produce octanesulfonylfluoride(OSF) or hexane sulfonyl
fluoride(HSF) inBuilding 3 and isreferredtoas the 'celfleed'.The cellfeedissentto
Buildings 2 and 49 where itisreactedinelectrochemicalcellsystems to produce POSF
or PHSF. POSF isthe major sulfonatebased fluorochemicalproduced atDecatur. PHSF
isproduced mainly for firesuppressionliquids.Most of thePOSF produced ispiped to
Building 3 where amides, alcohols,acrylatesand otherfluorochen-iicaplolymers are
produced. These fluorochemicalpolymers arethen used in allproduction buildingsto
produce intermediatesand finishedgoods.
3M EPI-0006 Page 12 of 85 The performance chemicals aremostly made up of inertliquidsand fire suppressionliquids.The inertliquidsfollow a path startinagt Buildings2 or 49 to Buildings 40 or 42. Inertliquidsconsistof mostly perfluoronatedalkanes and do not contain sulfonateor carboxylicacid compounds. Firesuppressionliquidsare primarily based on sulfonatechemistriesstartingwith POSF and PHSF. Firesuppression products are made in Building 3 and packaged in Building 4. Fluorochemicals are used in theproduction of fluoroelastomerproducts. The first partof theflu6roelastomersiscalledlatex,which isproduced in Buildings4, 38 and 5 1. The latexisthen coagulated,washed and milled in Buildings4 and 61. POSFbased compounds aretheprimary fluorochemicalsof interestused in the majorityof fluoroelastomerproducts. POAA isalsoused in a limitednumber of fluoroelastomer product runs. POAA isused in the productionof latexthatiseventuallycoagulated, washed, and milled in Buildings4 and 61. This POAA containingproduct isrun infrequently,only severaltimes per year. POAA isalsoa by-product within the electrolyticcellsand is carriedthrough up to product. Itisbelievedto be a resulto f increasedoxidationwithin thecells.POAA was produced in Building2 and subsequently worked up in Building 3 more than 20 years ago and had not been produced in Decatur sincethe time of thisstudy. POAA production isexpected to resume in Buildings 2 and 49 in thenear future.

FluorochemicalAnalyses All blood was collectedinthemonths of October and November, 1998 atthe
Decaturplantby MedAccess (anoccupationahlealthcliniclocatedinDecatur,Alabama) underthedirectioonf Cathy Simpson, RN who centrifugetdheblood toobtaintheserum and thenshippedthesamplestothe3M MedicalDepartment(St.Paul,NIN). Split sampleswere cataloguedby Diane Madsen and Jean Burrisand thensentto either Northwest Bioanalytica(lDr.David Vollmer)fordeterminationof perfluoro(>ctane sulfonat(ePFOS),perfluorooctanseulfonataemide (PFOSA), perfluorohexanseulfonate (PFHS) ,perfluorooctanoiacid(POAA) and N-ethylperfluorooctanesulfonamido acetate(PFOSAA) or to3M EnvironmentalLaboratory(Dr.KfisHansen) for determinatioonf N-methyl perfluorooctanesulfonamiadcoetate(M570) and perfluorooctanesulfonamiadcoetate(M556).
Inboth laboratoriese,rasampleswere extractedusingan ion-pairinegxtraction procedure.The extractswere quantitativealnyalyzedforPFOS, PFHS, POAA, PFOSAA, PFOSA, M570 and M556 usinghigh-pressurleiquid chromatography/electrosprtaayndem mass spectrometry(HPLC/ESMSMS) and evaluatedversusan extractedcurve.There were minor differencebsetween the analyticamlethods used atNorthwestBioanalyticaalnd 3M EnvironmentalLaboratory. Most notably,NorthwestBioanalyticaelvaluatedanalytelevelsversusa curveextracted from human sera.Endogenous levelsofcertainfluorochemicalwsere determinedinthe standardmatrixand additionaflluroochemicawlas spikedintothematrix.The total amount of eachspecificfluorochemica(lendogenous+ spiked)was used toconstructan extractedstandardcurve. For theanalysisconductedatthe3M Environmental
3M EPI-0006 Page 16 of 85 Laboratory,the difficultiepsresentedby the endogenous levelsof fluorochemical in samples of "blank" testmatrix were circumvented by utilizinrgabbitseraas a surrogate matrix. Previous research had shown thatrabbitseracontainsthe lowest levelof endogenous fluorochemicalswhen compared to serafrom bovine,rat,monkey and human. As a qualitycontrolcheck,the 3M Environmental Laboratory screened PFOS levelsin approximately 10% of the seraanalyzed atNorthwest BioanalyticalW.hile most of the resultsagreed to within 25%, 14 of the40 samples checked showed lower (> 25%) values when analyzed at3M. Itisexpected thatthesediscrepanciesare due to differencesin curve slope and interceptsarisingfrom theanalyticaldifferencesdescribed above. Given thatNorthwest Bioanalyticalsatisfactoricloympleted a method validation forPFOS using human seraand given thatmost valueswere in close agreement with those obtained by the 3M Environmental Laboratory using a rabbitseracurve,data from both laboratorieswere considered accurateto withintheparameters defined by their methods. Detailsof both laboratoriesm'ethods and finalreportsarereported elsewhere [Vollmer, 1999; Hansen, 1999].
Data Analysis Each employee's questionnairedata and computerized work historyrecords were
reviewed to detem-iinewhether the employee was: a) a currentchen-@calemployee (regardlesosf any work experiencein thefilmplant);b) a filmplantemployee with no historyin chemical;or c) a filmplantemployee with priorhistoryin chemical. Employees who were considered Decatur 'sitee'mployees (e.g.,safety,industrial

Chemical employees who had worked previouslyinthefilmplantwere identifieadnd classifieadstotheirtime ofserviceinthefilmplant(< 1980,1980-1989and 1990-1998).

3M EPI-0006 Page 18 of 85 tobacco or chewed gum. An index of hand washing was based on whether or not the employee saidthey always washed theirhands beforeeatingwhile at work. Through the use of SAS and JMP and employing standardstatisticatlechniques (student'tstest,chi square, ANOVA, singleand multivariableregressionusing linear and nonlinearanalyses),data analysesconcentratedon thefollowing issues:1) compare responders and nonresponders in the random sample by theirdemographic characteristics (e.g.a,ge, gender, yearsworked); 2) compare mean serum nuorochemical levelswithin thechemical plantby a) employee demographics, b) self-reportewdork historydata based from the study questionnaireincludingcurrentjob,longest-heldjob, years worked in chemical and in which chemical buildings;c) work historyinformationsupplemented with data from the 3M epidemiology unit'scomputerized comprehensive work history recorddatabasefor theDecatur site,and d) personalhabits(alsoidentifiedon the study questionnaire)thatwere hypothesized to increasethe likelihoodof oralingestionof fluorochemicals(e.g.h,and washing, cigarettesmoking, chewing tobacco and chewing gum); and 3) likewise,compare mean serum fluorochemicallevelswithin the film plant by similarfactors.To preventmisclassificatioonf potentialworkplace exposure experienceto fluorochemicalswithinthe filmplant,we analyzed samples from film plant employees according to those who have and have never worked in thechemical plantas well as thosewho were identifiedas having worked on theD- I maker locatedin the film plant.Film plantemployees who had never worked on theD- I maker nor ever worked in chemical arehereafterreferredto as "only film plantemployees." Because the serum distributionfsorPFOS, PFHS, POAA, PFOSAA, M570, PFOSA and M556 appeared log normally distributed(a skewed distribution)n,aturallog transformationsof the fluorochemicalswere performed to calculategeometric means

Measures of centraltendency routinelypresentedthroughoutthisreportwillinclude the arithmeticmean and range, and the geometric mean and associated95% confidence interval.Comparisons of geometric means were conducted using thestudent'sttestwith statisticaslignificanceconsidered atp < .05. All fluorochemicalmeasurements were reportedin partsper million(ppm) to the thirddecimal point. For statisticpaulrposes,serum fluorochemicalvalues thatwere less than the lower limitof quantitation(LLOQ) were assumed the midpoint between zero and the LLOQ. Of the totalnumber (n = 186) of employees consideredto be currently working in chemical who participateidn thestudy (126 from the random sample and 60 volunteers),thefollowingnumbers (inparentheseswith percentage)had reported LLOQ's by the measured fluorochemicalP:FOS (1,0.5%);PFHS (1, 0.5%); POAA (0, 0%); PFOSAA (49,26%); M570 (0,0%); PFOSA (36,19%); and M556 (8,4%). Of the
3M EPI-0006 Page 20 of 85 totalnumber (n = 76) of employees consideredto be currentfilm plant(60 in therandom sample and 16 volunteers),the followingnumbers (inparentheses)had reportedLLOQ's by themeasured fluorochemical:PFOS(1,1%);PFHS(2,2%);POAA(0,0%); PFOSAA (29,38%); M570 (0,0%); PFOSA (65,86%) and M556 (32,42%). Wechose not toanalyzePFOSA among thefilmplantemployees because 85% of them had serum PFOSA measured at lessthan LLOQ which resultedin minimum variabilitfyor statistical considerations.The LLOQ forPFOSA ranged,between analyses,from 0.001 to 0.010 PPM- Analyses focused on the random sample but aggregatedata analyseswere also conducted forallparticipants(random sample and volunteers)stratifiebdy the two plants.
RESULTS
ComRarison of random saMRIe resronders and nonresponders Responders (n = 186) and nonresponders (n = 46) from the random sample were
compared by age, gender and yearsworked and found tobe alike.Among thechemical random sample, the average age was 42 years compared to 43 for nonresponders. Responders and nonresponders have worked, on average, 16 years. There was a similar5 to I ratioof male to female employees forthe respondersand nonresponders among chemical employees.
Film plantemployees who responded were, on average,46 yearsof age,had worked 19 years and the ratioof male to female was 5 to 1. Nonresponders were 48 years of age,had worked 25 years and had a 7 to 1 male to female ratio.Thus, nonresponders in the film plantrandom sample were slightlyolder,worked longer and a greaterpercentage were males.

Chemical Plant Provided in tables2 and 3 arethedemographic characteristicbsy thenumber of
chemicalemployees (and percent)from therandom sample (n = 126),volunteers(n = 60) and allchemical participants(bothrandom sample and volunteer,n = 186). The distributioonf demographic characteristicbsetween therandom sample and volunteers were comparable although the random sample had a higher percentage of chemical operators(37%) than did the volunteers(28%).
The mean, median, range and geometric mean of the random sample, volunteers and allchemical participants,isprovided in Table 4 forthe seven fluorochemicals. The range of PFOS was from 0.091 - 10.600 ppm. Although the geometric means were consistentlyhigherin the random sample than volunteers,only with PFOSA did the geometric mean differsignificantlbyetween therandom sample (0.013 ppm) and the volunteers(0.006ppm). Itshould alsobe noted thatamong the random sample, five employees had serum PFOS levels > 5 ppm compared to none among the volunteers. Because thedemographic characteristicasnd geometric means did not substantialldyiffer between therandom sample and volunteers,subsequent tableswillreporton eitherthe random sample and/or allchemical participantsT.he volunteerswillnot be presented separately.

Fluorochemicallevelsby currentjob categoryarepresentedinTable 7. Several observationwsere noteworthy.Firstt,hedistributiofnhigh-to-lowgeometricmean valuesvariesby currentjob categories.Celloperatorshave thehighestgeometricmean
levelof PFOS.
3M EPI-0006 Page 24 of 85 The next group are thechemical operators,maintenance and waste
operators.Supervisor/mgmt isnext,followedby the group consistingof milloperators,
engineer/laband secretary.For PFHS, celloperatorshave the highestgeometric mean
level.The next highestgroup appears to be chemical operators,waste operators,
supervisor/mgmt and maintenance. For POAA, chemical operatorsappear to have the
highestlevelsfollowed by thegroup consistingof celloperators,maintenance, mill
operatorsand waste operators.Chemical operatorsand maintenance have significantly
higherlevelsof M570 than allothercurrentjob categories.Chemical operators, maintenance and mill operatorshave the highestgeometric mean valuesforPFOSAA.
PFOSA and M556 values were significantlhyigher forchemical operatorsthan formost
otherjob categories.
Fluorochemical ratios(PFOS/PFHS, PFOS/POAA,
PFOS/(PFOSSA+M570+PFOSA+M556),
M570/M556, PFOSAA/M556 and
PFOSA/M556) are presentedby currentjob categoryin Table 8. The celloperatorshad the lowest PFOS/PFHS ratioand the milloperatorshad thelowest PFOS/POAA ratio.
The largestPFOS/metabolite ratiowas forthe celloperators.
Tables 9-11 are identicalto Tables 7-9,respectivelye,xcept thattheemployees'
longestjob isanalyzed insteadof thecurrentjob category. Cell operatorsare not
included as therewas only one celloperatorwho statedthiswas his longestjob held. The
highestPFOS, PFHS and POAA levelswere observed among chemical operators.
Maintenance and chemical operatorshad higherM570 and PFOSAA levels.Overall,
resultsdid not vary substantiallbyetween currentjob and longestheld job.
Table 12 isrestrictetdo only thosechemical employees who statedon the
questionnairethatthey currentlywork injustone location(building).Because building
locationissynonymous
3M EPI-0006 Page 25 of 85 with job category forcelloperators,Buildings 2/49 had the
highestPFOS and PFHS levels.Building3 and Building4N representedthe areaswith
the highestPOAA levelsalthough only one building,Building 1, had substantiallylower
POAA levelswhen compared to the otherlocations.M570, PFOSAA and M556 levels
were highestin Building 3. Buildings3 and 4MX (Na = n-@xer/extrudearrea)appeared
to have comparable levelsof PFOSA. Among the 5 employees who only worked in
Building 4N, therewas a wide range of PFOSA levels.
Because employees may currentlywork in only one buildingbut have had a past
historyof working in severalbuildings,we furtherrestrictetdhe analysesto only those employees who saidthey have only worked in one buildingthroughout their
employment. This restrictetdhenumber of subjectstojust21 individuals(17% of the
random sample) with representatioinn theseBuildings:1,3 and 4mx. Table 13 shows
thatPFOS levelswere more than 5 times higher in the seraof Building 3 workers than in
the seraof Building I or Building 4MX workers. PFHS levelswere almost 10 fold
higher. POAA levelswere twice as high in seraof Building3 workers compared to
Building4NlX workers and more than 15 times higherthan Building I workers. M570
and M556 levelswere 5 times higherin Building 3 workers than Buildings I or 4Na.
PFOSAA and PFOSA levelswere comparable between Building 3 and Building4Nlx
workers and lowest in Building 1.
Tables 14 through 21 provide similardata analyses as the previous tablesbut now
represent the 187 total(random sample and volunteers)chemical participantsT.here
were no substantialdifferencesbetween theanalysesof the random sample and of all
chemical participants.For example, among allchemical participantsm,illoperatorswere
theyoungest employees (Tables 14, 17);most female employees were eitherin the
3M EPI-0006 Page 26 of 85 currentand longestjob categoryof chemical operatorsor engineer/lab(excluding secretary()Tables15, 18);celloperatorshad thehighestPFOS and PFHS serum levels and engineer/lab,secretaryand milloperatorshad the lowestPFOS and PFHS serum levels(Tables16, 19); and chemical operatorsand maintenance workers had the highest levelsof M570 and tended to alsohave the highestserum levelsof PFOSAA, PFOSA and M556. Fluorochemicallevelsstratifiebdy where employees only currentlywork (Table20),or have only ever worked (Table21),were alsocomparable with theresults from the random sample.All chemicalparticipantwsho have only worked inBuildingI had lower fluorochemicallevelsthanBuilding3 workers forallseven fluorochemicals (Table21). Building I workers had lower PFOS, POAA, PFOSAA and PFOSA levels thanBuilding4NIX employees. PFHS, M556 and M570 levelswere similarinBuilding I workersand Building4MX workers. A seriesof multivariablaenalyses(datanotshown) examining each fluorocheniicably severalindependentvariables(e.g.a,ge,body mass index,gender, currentjob,longest-heljdob,whether employed only inthechemical plant,yearsworked inthechemical plant)suggestedtheremay be up tothreeimportantexplanatory variablesT.hese were current(orlongest)job,yearsworked withinthechemical plant and gender. To bettervisualizethe influenceof yearsworked withinchemical on serum fluorochemicallevels,we stratifietdhe analysesby currentjob categories.In other words, the dependent variable(i.e.e,ach specificfluorochemical)was regressedon years worked inchemical foreach separatejob category.These linearregressionanalyses employed the untransfonnedas wellas transformed(naturalog)dependent variable. Analyses were conducted forthe random sample (n= 126) as well asforallchemical
participant(sn
3M EPI-0006 Page 27 of 85 187).Presented in Appendix E are theanalyses foreach fluorochemical
fortherandom sample (n = 126) and then separatelyforchemical operators,engineer/lab,
maintenance,mill operatorsand supervisors/mgmt. Cell operatorsand secretariesarenot
presentedbecause of theirinsufficienptopulation.
From the scatterplotasnd models presentedin Appendix E, the following were
observed. (Note:in Appendices fluorochemicalsare presentedin thefollowing order
PFOS, PFHS, POAA, PFOSAA, M570, PFOSA and M556. For the scatterplotsu,pper
and lower 95% confidence curves areprovided of the fittedline.First,forthe entire
random sample, only the PFHS model fitthedata well with 22 percent of the variationof
PFHS explainedby an increasein years worked in chemical. PFOS levelsincreased
modestly with years worked in chemical although the varianceexplainedremained small (2r=.10). Although interceptsmay have been significanftorotherfluorochemical
models fortheentirerandom sample, the varianceexplainedwas consistentlyquitesmall
(i.e.l,essthan 3 percent);thus such models have minimum prediction.Among chemical operatorsthe most significantobservationwas thefindingof a linearincreaseof PFHS
levelswith increasingyears worked in chemical. Thirty-fourpercentof the variationin
PFHS.was explained. There were weaker positivelinearassociationsbetween POAA or
PFOS and yearsworked in chemical. On the otherhand, thereappeared to be a
suggestionthatthe highestlevelsof thefluorochemicalanalytes(PFOSAA, M570,
PFOSA and M556) were most oftenobserved among chemical operatorswith justone or
two years of experience. Among theengineer/labgroup, therewas a weak association
between serum PFOS levelsand yearsworked inchemical. The strongestassociation
observed among maintenance workers was thelinearincreaseof PFHS levelswith years
worked in chemical. Like the chemical operators,a significanatmount of variationwas
explained (26 percent)although the data were sparse.Among
3M EPI-0006 Page 28 of 85 the supervisor/mgmt
group, PFOS, PFHS and POAA increasedwith years worked inchemical..
Approximately 15 percentof the variationwas explainedin each model. Model fitwas
poor forthe milloperatorsbecause allbut two had worked for5 years or less;thus only scatterplotasre presented (notregressionmodels).
The naturallog transformationsarepresentedin Appendix F forallchemical
employees (n = 126) in the random sample as well as forthe two currentjob categories
with the most numbers (chemical operatorsand engineer/lab).For the entirerandom
sample, a weak association(r2= .08)isobserved forPFOS and years worked in chemical
and a strongerassociation(r2= .23)forPFHS. For chemical operatorsthe strongest
association(r2= .34)is with PFHS and yearsworked in chemical. Although the latter
associationwas not observed among theengineer/labcategory with thenontransformed variable(seeAppendix E),the naturallog transformationof PFHS was significantly
associated(r2= .19)with years worked in chemical (seeAppendix F).
Presented in Appendix G are similarscatterplotasnd regressionmodels forall
chemical participantsby currentjob category.There remained a positiveassociation
between PFHS or PFOS serum levelsand yearsworked in chemical,with the strongerof
thesetwo associationsfor PFHS. Because of more subjects,scatterplotasre alsonow
shown forcelloperators.These plotssuggest,again,an increasein PFOS, PFHS and
now alsoPOAA levelsamong currentcelloperatorswith years worked in chemical.
Among chemical operatorsthe strongestassociationremained with PFHS, with weaker
linearassociationsobserved forPFOS and POAA with years worked in chemical.
Among theengineer/labgroup, thereremained a positivelinearassociationbetween eitherPFHS or PFOS with yearsworked in chemical. There were positive linear
associationsforPFOS, PFHS and POAA
3M EPI-0006
Page 29 of 85 with years worked in chemical among both the
maintenance and supervisor/mgmt groups. Too few milloperatorswith 5 or more work
years in chemical were sampled to conduct a meaningful analysis.The scatterplotdata do show a wide range of serum POAA levelsamong milloperatorswithjustone year of work experiencein chemical.
The scatterplotisn Appendix H representthelog transformationsforallchemical participantsand the two most numerous job categories:chemical operatorsand engineeraab. Again, the scatterplotssuggest a consistentlystrongpositiveassociation
between serum PFHS levelsand years worked in chemical and a lesserassociationwith PFOS and years worked in chemical.
Presented earlierin Table 6 was the observationthatserum fluorochemicallevels were lower among female workers. Whether thiswas due to a smaflerproportionof
female workers injob categorieswhere exposure would be the highest,younger female workers and/or female employees with lesswork experience in chemical remained to be
resolved. To address thisissuewe focused on those two job categoriesthathad the most female subjectswithin the random sample as well as allchemical participantsc:hemical
operatorsand theengineer/labgroup. Presentedin Tables 22 and 23, by gender, arethe demographic characteristicasnd serum fluorochemicallevelsforthe random sample of chemical operatorsand the engineer/labgroup. Female employees had significantly lower geometric mean serum levelsof PFOS, PFHS and POAA. Multivariableanalyses
of chemical operators of each fluorochemicallevelregressedon gender, years worked in chemical and with and without age are presentedin Appendix Iforthe random sample. For purposes of brevity,only thetransformed (naturallog)dependent models are presented. Gender appeared to be thebestpredictorof PFOS level(i.e.l,ower levels
among
female chemical operators)with years worked
3M EPI-0006 Page 30 of 85 in chemical not significantly
associatedwith PFOS. Gender was alsosignificantlayssociatedwith POAA levels
(lower POAA levelsamong female workers) adjustingforyearsworked in chemical and
age. Both gender and yearsworked in chemical appeared to be important predictorsof
PFHS levelsamong chemical operators.Among therandom sample of engineer/lab
workers, gender was the most importantpredictorof PFOS, PFHS, POAA and PFOSAA
levelsafteradjustingforyearsworked inchemical and age (Appendix J). Data for
chemical operatorsand the engineer/labgroup from the allchemical participantshowed comparable results(Appendices K and L).
To furtherclarifythisissue,regressionanalyseswere stratifiebdy gender as well
as by job category.With male chemical operatorsas well as with themale engineer/lab
group, therewas a consistentassociationof increasinglevelsof PFOS and PFHS (and POAA forchemical operatorsonly)with increasingyears worked, at leastfor thefirst
severalyearsof work. Scatterplotasrefound in Appendix M. More questionableis
whether such an associationremains linearor ispolynomial (quadratic)over time.
Among female chemical operatorstheonly associationobserved was forPFHS and years
worked. Scatterplotsarefound in Appendix N. Neither PFOS or POAA levels
appeared to increasewith years worked in chemical among female chemical operators.
The dataforthe female engineer/labgroup aredifficultto interprestince6 of the 9
individualshad lessthan 5 yearsof work in chemical. Use of an interactiotnerm (gender
x yearsworked in chemical) in multivariablemodels was not an importantpredictorof
fluorochemicallevels.
Film Plant
3M EPI-0006 Page 31 of 85
Altogethertherewere 60 currentemployees who responded to the film plant
random sampling. A totalof 36 employees had worked only in the film plant(i.e.,'only
in thefilm plant'refertso film plantworkers with no known experienceon the D-1 maker
or have had no previous work experiencein the chemical plant),6 film plantemployees
were known to have worked on theD-1 maker and 18 employees had worked, atsome
time previously,in the chemical plantbut were not on theD-1 maker (Table 24). For all
filmparticipant(sn = 76, random sample and volunteers)a, totalof 49 had worked only
in the film plant,7 were known to have worked on theD-1 maker and 20 had worked, at
some time previously,in the chemical plant.
Among the 60 employees of therandom sample, therewere no substantial
demographic differences(Table 25) between the only film,theD-1 maker and prior
chemical historygroups. However, therewere significandtifferencesin serum
fluorochemicallevelsamong thesethreegroups of film plantworkers. Those employees
who have only worked in the film plant(butnot on D-1 maker or previouschemical plant
history)had significantllyower mean PFOS levels(Table 2-6).The geometric mean of
PFOS foronly film plantworkers was 0.110 ppm (95% Cl 0.094-0.129)compared to
0.289 ppm (95% CI 0.159-0.527)foremployees known to have worked on the D-1
maker and the geometric mean was 0.178 ppm (0.137-0.233)forfilm plantemployees
with priorhistoryin chemical. A similarsignificanatssociationa,lbeitat a lower ppm
level,was observed for POAA. The only film plantemployees had significantllyower
PFHS levelswhen compar-ed to film plantworkers with a previoushistoryin chemical;
theirPFHS levelswere nonsignificantllyower than those who worked on the D-1 maker.
There were no significandtifferencesin seralevelsof the remaining fluomchemical
levelsamong
the threegroups of film employees.
3M EPI-0006 Page 32 of 85 Interestinglya,llfilm plantworkers
with a previoushistoryof having worked in thechemical planthad M556 values that
were below the LLOQ. We do note thattheD-1 maker group had comparable levelsof
M570 to the only film or film with previoushistoryin chemical groups (seeTable 26).
We had hypothesized theD-1 maker group may have had higherlevelsbecause of their
use of methyl FOSE amide which may metabolize to the analyteM570. Provided in
Table 27 areratiosof fluorochemicals.The median ratioswere comparable forthese
groups of filmplantworkers in therandom sample.
Restrictingthe analysesto film employees with no D-1 maker or chemical plant
experience,therewere no significandtifferencesby.age forthefour currentjob
categoriesanalyzed:engineer/lab,filmprocessor,maintenance and administrative(Table
28). Although theirserum levelswere substantiallbyelow theircounterpartsin
chemical,maintenance employees working in the film planthad significantlhyigher
PFOS, POAA and M570 levelsthan theengineer/labgroup withinthefilm plant(Table
29). Engineer/lab,film processorsand administrativweorkers had comparable
fluorochemicalserum levels. Median fluorochemicalratioswere comparable among
thesejob categoriesof therandom sample of filmplantworkers (Table 30). Similar
findingswere observed when allfilmplantparticipantwsere analyzed fordemographics
and serum fluorochemicallevels(Tables31-33).
Located in Appendix 0 are scatterplotosf the only film group foreach
fluorochemicalregressedon years worked in film. Because maintenance workers had
higherlevels,on average,than the otherthreejob groups among the only film employees,
they arenumbered on the graphs. From theseanalysesthereissome suggestion that
PFOS and POAA levelsmay increasewithin thefirstfew years of working atthe Decatur
filmplantand then subsequentlyplateau.However,
3M EPI-0006 Page 33 of 85 unlikechemical workers, thereisno
linear(orquadratic)associationobserved forPFHS. The remaining fluorochemicals
showed no associationwith yearsworked in film.
DISCUSSION
The goal of thisresearcheffortwas to quantify,based on random sampling, the relationshipof employee serum levelsof seven fluorochemicalsat theDecatur chemical and film plants. In thatregard,thedata collectedand analyzed presenta convincing pictureof significantllyower serum fluorochernicalevelsamong employees who have only worked in the film plantwhen compared to those who arecurrentchemical plant employees. For example, comparing the geometric means foreach fluorochemical between chemical operatorsand those employees who only have worked in film,we observedthe followingratios:PFOS (1.481/0.110);PFHS (0.428/0.015)P;OAA (1.887/0.052)P;FOSAA (0.011/0.002)M;570 (0.229/0.022)a;nd M556 (0.044/0.003). These ratiose,xcept forPFOSAA, suggesta 10-foldor greaterdifferencebetween chemical operatorsand film plantemployees who work severalhundred yards away from Building 3. These only film plantworkers appear to have a geometric mean value for PFOS thatis approximately 3-4 times higherthan thepooled geometric mean (0.029 ppm) from 64 samples obtainedfrom 18 U.S. blood banks; thus,we suspect that occupationalexposure to PFOS occurs withinthe film plantalthough atmuch lower levelsthan among employees working atthe chemical plant.
Among film plantemployees we alsoestablishedthefactthatworkers on the D-1 maker have serum PFOS levelsapproximately 3 times higherthan those who have never
3M EPI-0006 Page 34 of 85
worked on theD- Imaker nor have worked inthechemicalplant.Unexplainedisthe POAA levelsof theseworkers on theD- I maker as wellas thelevelsobservedamong otherfilmplantemployees.
We confirmedseveralhypothesesforthechemicalplantemployees.Firstc,ell operatorshave thehighestserum levelsof PFOS and PFHS althoughtheirserum levels forotherfluorochemicalanalyteswere similartootherchemicalemployeeswho were involvedwiththechemicalreactors(i.e.c,hemicaloperatorsand maintenanceworkers). Second,chemicaloperatorsand maintenanceworkershad comparable serum fluorochemicalevels.Besidestheirhigherlevelsof PFOS and PFHS, theyboth had significanthliygherlevelsofM570 (themethylFOSE alcoholmetabolitea)nd toa lesser degreetoPFOSAA which istheethylFOSE alcoholmetabolite(aswellas an FC product itselFfC,-129). Chemical operatorsb,utnot maintenanceworkers,had higherlevelsof PFOSA. Both chemical operatorsand maintenanceworkers had moderatelyhigherlevels ofM556 thantheotherjobcategoriesT.hese data suggestthat,beyond generalplantbasedenvironmentalexposuretoPOSF and PHSF (which we assume isprimarily throughinhalatioannd conversiontoPFOS and PFHS, respectivelyt)h,echemical operatorsand maintenance workershave higherserum levelsas a resulotf their occupationaelxposureto thefluorochemicaplroducts.These occupationaelxposures may be from theFC alcoholsF,C amides,and FC acrylatesB.ecause these fluorochemicalhsave much lower vaporpressurethanPOSF and PHSF, thesedatamay indicatethattheexposureto thesechemicalproductswithinthechemicalplantis relativelyimitedtowithinBuilding3 and Building4N. Third,wasteoperatorswere comparable tochemicaloperatorsforserum levelsofPFOS and PFHS but,likethecell operatorsd,idnot have higherlevelsof thefluorochemicalanalytesF.ourth,mill
operatorswere generallymuch
younger employees
3M EPI-0006 Page 35 of 85 and theirhighestfluorochemical
serum levelwas to POAA. Yet, the milloperators'POAA levelswere lower than those
of celloperators,chemical operatorsand maintenance workers. This sugaests thereis
plant-basedexposure of POAA well beyond the Building 4 area which may be due to the
factthatPOAA isa by-product of theelectrolyticcellproduction.Finally,the data
support thehypothesis thatthose individuals(e.g.,engineersand secr-etariewsh)o are
much lesslikelyto have routineoccupationalexposure within thechemical plant,do,
indeed have lower serum fluorochemicallevels.Employees who have only worked in
Building 1 which isimmediately acrossthe walkway from Building 3, have serum
fluorochemicallevelsthatrange between 7 (PFOS, PFHS) and 15 times (PFOSAA)
lower than employees who have only worked in Building 3.
Our analysesof fluorochemicallevelsin serum from randomly selected
employees strengthenthe recommendations thatwere recentlymade in a Decatur
industriahlygiene assessment analysis[Logan, 1998]. There is a strongcorrelation
between the higheremployee serum levelsin the presentstudy and air,surfaceand
personalmonitoring measurements which occurred duringthe industriahlygiene
assessment.In the industrialhygiene assessment, Building 3 had the highestaverage
airbornetotalfluorochemicallevelswith each value derivedfrom the totalmass of
detectedtargetanalytesin each sample (POSF, PHSF, FC amides, FC alcohols,FC

3M EPI-0006 Page 36 of 85 Surface wipe sampling was alsoconducted throughout the chemical plant(Buildings 1,2,
3,4, 17,38,49, 51 and 57). Sample resultsindicatedthatfluorochemicalswere found in
nearlyallsamples with largevariationsin concentration.Building 3 had the highest
surfacefluorochemical contamination with the average surfaceconcentrationgreaterthan
2.
100 ug/100cm
Also, methyl FOSE alcoholwas the largestcontributorof
fluorochemicalsfound throughoutsurfacewipes in Building3. Hand-wipe samplings
indicatedthatemployees who had washed theirhands had very low levelsof
fluorochemicalsdetected.Methyl FOSE alcoholand POAA were thecompounds found
most oftenon employees' hands. Thus, the present study'sserafluorochen-ticallevels,
observed by job categoriesand buildinglocations,stronglysupportthe recommendations
bome from industrialhygiene assessments. These recommendations include specific
engineeringcontrolsto reduce inhalationexposure, appropriatepersonalprotective
equipment to prevent overexposure and appropriatepersonalhygiene practicesamong
employees to remove skin concentrations.
For thefirsttime we have shown a relationshipbetween serum PFHS levelsand
thenumber of year-sworked in chemical. This findingwas observed acrossvarious
currentjob categorieswithinchemical which suggestsPHSF, due to itshigh vapor
pressure,islikelypresentthroughout the chemical plantpremises. The phannacokinetics of PFHS are unknown, although due to theshorterchain length,we
suspect thebiologicalhalf-lifmeay be lessthan PFOS.
We observed only a modest associationbetween yearsworked in the chemical
plantand serum PFOS, and to a lesserextentPOAA, levels.These associationsappear to
be more evidentamong employees within theirfirstfiveyears as demonstrated by
significanqtuadraticassociationsfound with both male chemical operatorsand
engineers/laboratopreyrsonnel.
3M EPI-OW6 Page 37 of 85
Like theirmale counterpartsf,emale chemicaloperatorsappearto have increased
PFHS levelswith yearsworked. However, unliketheirmale counterpartst,herewas no
apparentlinearassociatiobnetween PFOS and yearsworked. Whether thisisdue to
differenwtork practicese,xposurepatternsorpharrnacokineticosnce absorbed,remains
tobe determined.Gender-relatedifferenceisnthetoxicokineticosf POAA have been

The serum levelsobservedinthisstudyforPFOS and POAA arenotdifferent
