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.
