 DuPont Washington Works | A Mid-Ohio Valley Discussion on C-8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
C-8 is a surfactant, or detergent-like material, used by DuPont and other companies as an essential processing aid in the manufacture of fluoropolymer resins and finishes.
It is carcinogenic in laboratory animals by a mechanism that is not considered to be relevant to human exposure, and available epidemiologic studies of workers do not show an increased risk of cancer associated with exposure to C-8.
Although existing data do not show an association between C-8 exposure and adverse human health effects, DuPont is cooperating with federal and state agencies in their work to agree on human health-based screening levels for C-8.

DuPont remains confident that the low levels of C-8 detected in drinking water supplies in the Mid-Ohio Valley do not pose a risk to human health or the environment.
That agreement was formalized in a consent order signed between DuPont and the WVDEP and WVDHHR in November 2001 that resulted in continued scientific study of C-8 under the direction of the State.
In addition, DuPont and other fluoropolymer manufacturers have been working with the EPA in Washington, D.C., for more than 18 months to evaluate the current body of knowledge about C8, determine what additional research is needed, and to improve overall stewardship of C8.
