Anniston Community Health Survey: Follow up Study and Dioxin Analyses
PCBs, Dioxins and other Chemicals Results Report
Dear Study Participant,
The following tables show what we measured in the blood sample you provided for the Anniston follow up study on mm/dd/yyyy.
The value for each chemical and the 50th and 95th percentile of the Fourth Report from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2004 for the particular chemical are shown. The 95th percentile from NHANES is helpful for finding out whether your results are unusual.
The presence of chemical in a person’s blood does not by itself mean that the chemical causes disease. For some chemicals, such as lead, we do know health risks associated with different blood levels. But for most chemicals, we need more research to assess health risks from different blood levels.
Some individuals will not have the measurements for all chemicals. You may not have a measurement for some chemical because your level is lower than the limit of detection. You may also not have a measurement due to the blood sample’s failing one of the laboratory quality control procedures. If the reason for missing measurement is known, it will be included with your results.
If you have further questions about the meaning of these chemicals tests results, you may contact us by calling ATSDR at 770-488-_____. Also included below is a list of Websites and federal agencies where further information on these chemicals can be found.
Sincerely,
Study Investigators.
