15 October 2008Below are listed 3 Status Reports submitted to the Wood County Court in Parkersburg West Virginia under the C8 Settlement. Each report is a concise summary of the key findings of this work. More detailed reports are being submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. When they are accepted and published details for accessing them will be provided here. Right-click on the title and save or open the document (pdf format). These three reports arise from work in one of the Science Panel studies "Cholesterol, diabetes, uric acid, and C8 levels among participants in the C8 Health Project"
Procedure for release of Study ResultsThe Science Panel is planning to complete a series of reports on various health measures and C8 over the coming months and years that will contribute important knowledge regarding the potential health effects of C8 exposure. We explain here our process for making available these results: to the Court, to the public and the media, and though scientific journals. For a number of these results we are working in collaboration with West Virginia University When we complete the analysis and interpretation of the data on a specific issue, the following will occur:
It should be noted that this only concerns release of results from individual studies, not the announcement of the Science Panel's Findings regarding a probable link between C8 exposure and any disease. That determination will require putting together all the evidence and will be handled exclusively through the Court. This is explained on another page on this website: click on "The Science Panel" on the menu. |
