PFAS Projects
PFAS Exposure Assessment Technical Tools (PEATT) Pilot Project
During summer of 2018, DOH tested a
toolkit created by the CDC and ATSDR to perform blood tests on residents living in communities exposed to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in their drinking water. This project is funded by the Association of State and territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and allow DOH to give feedback on improving the process for a larger, national study.
The initial project is completed and the preliminary results of the study can be found in the PEATT Project Final Report.
The CDC/ASTHO is expanding the PEATT project to include further testing of study participants and potential environmental exposures in the community. This will include urine, water, and household dust analyses.
