Teflon C8

Teflon C8

(OP)
Referencing a thread in the Piping & Fuild Mechanics Forum titled [b]Teflon[/b]
thread378-127895

Just like arsenic, cyanide, or mercury, at some point in the future, C8 could be on the list of dangerous substances mandated for regular testing by every water system in the United States.

That’s what the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency says following the discovery of the DuPont manufacturing chemical in the air and wastewater near a Circleville, Ohio plant. The revelation prompted the testing of neighboring water systems in Pickaway and Ross County.

The OEPA is waiting on the results of a federal EPA risk assessment before devising a plan for further action to monitor the Teflon manufacturing chemical.

OEPA public information officer, said the major focus right now is on blood sampling studies like the C8 Health Project in Wood Wirt and Mason Counties WV and Washington, Athens and Meigs counties in Ohio, which surround DuPont's washington Works facility in Parkersburg WV.
