Approved consistent with the understanding that the primary purpose of this project is to document the exposure distribution within each target population living in Syracuse, NY. The design does not support the ability to draw conclusions about the statistical significance of differences between either of the RDS samples and the data from nationally representative populations (e.g., NHANES), as the underlying assumptions in the samples are very different.

In 2009, the federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) was established under the stewardship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to protect, restore, and maintain the Great Lakes ecosystem in partnership with 15 other federal agencies. Under an interagency agreement with the US EPA, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) established the Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations Program II under its 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) authority. The ATSDR Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations Program II aims to provide a human exposure assessment to Great Lakes contaminants among targeted subpopulations concurrent with the onset of restoration activities. Specifically, the purpose of the current program is to evaluate exposure in an area that was not addressed in the FY2010 CDC-RFA TS10-1001 cooperative agreement program. The CDC-RFA-TS10-1001 cooperative agreement program received OMB approval on 10/12/2012 (OMB Control No: 0923-0044 ICR Reference No. 201203-0923-001).
