This report documents Battelle's evaluation of the statistical quality and defensibility of 12 data sources of serum perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) levels found in nonoccupational human populations. These data were summarized in the 3M white paper, "Perfluorooctane Sulfonate: Current Summary of Human Sera, Health and Toxicology Data" provided to the EPA in January, 1999. The purpose of this initial collection of human non-occupational serum samples by the 3M Medical Department was to determine the presence or absence of PFOS in human blood from current and historical samples. 3M requested a review of these data by Battelle to determine what additional inferences could be obtained by analyses of these data. Battelle statisticians felt that only the pooled serum from the 18 U S. blood banks was judged defensible for a statistical analysis. Ofthese data, the geometric mean PFOS blood level was 28.2 ppb (95% confidence interval 23.9-33.3). Regional differences could not be explained without additional data and analyses.

Table 1. Statistical Requirements for Defensible Quantitative Conclusions
Statistical Requirements
1. Detailed documentation of the study objectives and approach, including sampling design {number and types of samples!, and sampling and chemical analysis protocols
2. Specification of a well defined target population about which inference is to be made te.g., the entire U.S. population, or some specified subpopulatloni
3. Unbiased data collection protocols which ensure that all samples are demographicaily representative of the target population; generally this implies random sampling from the target population
4. Along with PFOS blood levels, accurate collection of important predictor or explanatory Information, such as demographics like age, gender, race, etc.
5. Compositing of samples, when done, is performed only for samples within the same subpopulation so that Important potential differences among subpopulations are preserved in the resulting data
6. Sampling is performed at several (i.e., at least three! points in time which are spaced at regular time intervals te.g., every five years)
7. At each point In time, sampling Is performed cross-sectionally from the entire target population or subpopulations
8 . Sampling is performed to provide uniform coverage of the entire spatial domain of interest (e.g., the entire U.S.)
9. Data is collected both for multiple locations (e.g., regions or cities) across the spatial domain and for multiple individuals within each location
10. All data are collected at approximately the same point in time to eliminate the potential for confounding due to temporal trends
11. Specification of target subpopulations which are well defined in terms of important demographic parameters (e.g., age, gender, race, etc.) and from which sampling is randomly performed
12. Either fix sampling at one time and spatial location {e.g., city) or ensure that sampling for all demographic subpopulations Is performed in a balanced design across the same times and locations (i.e., to eliminate potential confounding due to time or location)
