The multi-city study paired a city having manufacturing or commercial use of fluorochemical products based on customer sales with a city that does not. Initially six cities, (three pairs) are being examined. The study may be expanded depending on further results. The multi-city study will yield environmental distribution data as well as data on potential sources of human exposure. The cities were selected to represent urban locations with various levels of fluorochemical releases and various types of municipal water supplies. The samples to be obtained, where possible, include: urban air, surface water column and surface microlayer, sediment, river fish, drinking water intake, treated drinking water, tap water, the influent to and effluent from publicly-owned waste treatment works, sludge, and municipal landfill leachate. Additionally, a "market basket" of several food products will be sampled. These include: beef, pork, chicken, hot dogs, catfish, eggs, milk, bread, green beans, apples from grocery stores and, if possible, produce from local farmers' markets. The attached material data provides more detail on the design and structure of the study and represents the first results from the multi-city study. Included are reports on the quality assurance plan and field sampling procedures used and the results of the drinking water samples taken from the six cities. The results indicate that drinking water in four cities (Decatur, Alabama; Cleveland, Tennessee; Mobile, Alabama; and Port St. Lucie, Florida) did not contain detectable levels of fluorochemicals. Only two cities (Columbus, Georgia, and Pensacola, Florida) contained detectable levels of sulfonated fluorochemicals in the drinking water. The results show that the levels are in the range of 40-60 parts per trillion of perfluoroctane sulfonate. Only one city, Columbus, Georgia, showed very low detectable levels of perfluorooctanoate. Also included is a copy of a draft "lifetime" drinking water health advisory developed for PFOS. This advisory reflects a very conservative approach based on application of "safety factors." The advisory level of 1 part per billion should not be misconstrued as threshold for danger or concern, but only a reference point based on application of conservative methods and the information available to date. A comparison of the drinking water data from the multi-city study indicates that there are two orders of magnitude of safety between the draft drinking water advisory and the results from these two cities in the multi-city study.
