We are requesting approval to re-contact, re-screen, and re-collect blood and urine specimens and questionnaire responses for 25 previously enrolled study participants (shoreline anglers) attributed to the Detroit River area. During the analysis of serum samples, the National Center for Environmental Health Division of Laboratory Sciences informed our program that external contamination of 25 samples collected from these participants occurred due to equipment failure. The reason for repeating the questionnaire and urine sample is to chronologically align information collected on exposure parameters per responses to the questionnaire and the body burden measurements of all analytes.
