Subject: ATSDR Pease Study – Invitation to Children and Parents

Dear Parent,

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is conducting the Pease Study in the Portsmouth, NH, area. The goals of the research are to see if per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water might affect human health.

ATSDR is inviting children, 4-17 years, with their parent, to take part in the Pease Study. ATSDR wants to enroll 350 children who lived at or attended daycare at the former Pease Air Force Base or the Pease International Tradeport. Some older children may even have worked there.

ATSDR started enrolling children who took part in the 2015-7 Pease PFC Blood Testing Program. As space allows. ATSDR is now inviting children who drank PFAS contaminated water from Pease, but didn’t take part in the Blood Testing Program. Children who drank water from private wells near the Tradeport that have PFAS contamination can also take part. ATSDR is limiting this part of the study to children who drank water from Pease from 2004 to May 2014.

If birth mothers ever worked as a firefighter, or in the manufacture or use of PFAS chemicals, their children cannot take part. This is because we are looking only at drinking water exposures.

If your child worked at or went to daycare at the Pease International Tradeport from 2004 to May 2014, he or she may be eligible to take part in the study. This includes going to the Discovery Child Enrichment Center or the Great Bay Kids’ Company.

If you are interested, please call ATSDR directly to volunteer at [study telephone number].

For questions about this research study, please call the ATSDR study lead, Dr. Marian Pavuk, at [study telephone number]. Please leave a message with your name, a telephone number, or an address.

Thank you for your interest.

Subject: ATSDR Pease Study – Invitation to Adults

Dear Potential Participant,

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is conducting the Pease Study in the Portsmouth, NH, area. The goals of the research are to see if per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water might affect human health.

ATSDR is inviting adults, ≥ 18 years, to take part in the Pease Study. ATSDR wants to enroll 1,000 adults who worked at, lived near, or attended daycare at the former Pease Air Force Base or the Pease International Tradeport.

ATSDR started enrolling adults who took part in the 2015-7 Pease PFC Blood Testing Program. As space allows. ATSDR is now inviting adults who drank PFAS contaminated water from Pease, but didn’t take part in the Blood Testing Program. Adults who drank water from private wells near the Tradeport that have PFAS contamination can also take part. ATSDR is limiting this part of the study to adults who drank water from Pease from 2004 to May 2014.

Adults who ever worked as a firefighter, or in the manufacture or use of PFAS chemicals cannot take part. This is because we are looking only at drinking water exposures.

If you are ≥ 18 years, and a) worked at or lived near the Pease International Tradeport between 2004 and May 2014, or b) attended daycare at Pease Tradeport as a child, you may be eligible to take part in the study.

If you are interested, please call ATSDR directly to volunteer at [study telephone number].

Subject: ATSDR Pease Study – Invitation to Children and Parents

Dear Parent,

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is conducting the Pease Study in the Portsmouth, NH, area. The goals of the research are to see if per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water might affect human health.

ATSDR is inviting children, 4-17 years, with their parent, to take part in the Pease Study. To compare to exposed children, ATSDR wants to enroll 175 children who never lived near or attended daycare at the former Pease Air Force Base or the Pease International Tradeport. Older children cannot have worked there, as well.

If birth mothers ever worked as a firefighter, or in the manufacture or use of PFAS chemicals, their children cannot take part. This is because we are looking only at drinking water exposures.

Birth mothers also cannot ever have exposure to drinking water at Pease. This is because we do not want to include possible PFAS exposure from Pease to comparison children during pregnancy or through breastfeeding.

If you are interested, please call ATSDR directly to volunteer at [study telephone number].

For questions about this research study, please call the ATSDR study lead, Dr. Marian Pavuk, at [study telephone number]. Please leave a message with your name, a telephone number, or an address.

Thank you for your interest.
