 DuPont Safety Revealed
DuPont is refusing to release certain data the company collected on Parkersburg, West Virginia employees to a court-appointed panel of scientists who are investigating potential health effects suffered by thousands of Ohio and West Virginia residents after drinking water was contaminated by PFOA.
DuPont informed its USW-represented Deepwater, New Jersey plant employees on November 14 that levels of PFOA in their blood were as high as 6330 parts per billion (ppb), thousands of times higher than the average level of 5 ppb in the general population.
DuPont's study focuses just on the causes of worker mortality rather than the occurrence of cancer and overall impact PFOA may have on the health of workers.

 washingtonpost.com: EPA to Fine DuPont for Silence on Teflon Chemical
DuPont said yesterday that it plans to fight the complaint, which will be handled through administrative channels but is subject to appeal in federal court.
Internal DuPont documents from that time show the company detected C-8 levels exceeding its recommended standard in the blood of childbearing workers and some of their babies' blood.
DuPont spokesman Clif Webb said the company's C-8 supplier later concluded that the chemical did not cause birth defects in animals, and the next year DuPont brought female workers back to areas where C-8 was used.

 C8. Feb 16, 2003. A timeline of when DuPont knew what... by Michael Hawthorne. Columbus Dispatch (Ohio).
DuPont records also show the company has known for at least two decades that C8 contamination extends beyond workers at its Washington Works plant west of Parkersburg, W.Va., where the chemical has been used since 1951 to help keep Teflon and related coatings from clumping as they are manufactured.
DuPont officials say their exposure standard was never intended to be a ''safe level,'' although a June 1987 memo from the company's safety office shows that DuPont scientists were instructed to establish an ''acceptable level for C8 in community drinking water.''
DuPont has studied about 40 alternatives to C8, all of which were abandoned because they either didn't meet the same performance standards or, like C8, were found to accumulate in human blood.

In fact, Ohio's state Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publicly announced that PFOA was not found in drinking water supplies surrounding the Dupont Ohio chemical plant.
