Why girls in Northern Kentucky and not in cincinnati. Results, and the dew point plant, may have contributed to exposures, through their Drinking Water.

Northern kentucky, Water District doesnt believe sufficient data exists to support the theory that Drinking Water was the pathway to elevated pfoa levels in the study a decade ago.
