Scope of Review
Worldwide DuPont Fluorepolymers
- Analysis does not Include DDE
Most examples will lie US specific
- US market of fluorepolymer dispersion mirrors worldwide market
- DuPont IIS OH practices are similar to those In the Netherlands and Japan
- Most data is available for US

Disclaimer on Observations
`It is very important to recognize the serious limitations on the usefulness of thfstsicl data. These include the small size of most of the lata sets, the framant transfer ef site employees from one job to another, and the slow rate at which C-8 blood levels decrease after exposure steps."
In the analysis completed, statistical riper was net nsed in all cases das to the small size ef the data set

"Different employees with long enure in ;he same jo b
sometimes v*ion marked differences in their blood level... This can be due tc either different work habits or differences m
individual metabolism. ",\'ot so sure that this is the case based
on 2000 data.
