When that contamination has been discovered, the state and local partners act immediately to protect public health.

2 Significant partnerships have been formed with federal agencies, academia, and stakeholders to help Michigan address the nationally emerging PFAS threat. As part of this initiative, I directed the formation of a PFAS Science Advisory Panel to provide guidance to the state from some of the top minds addressing this issue nationally. As we moved forward, we quickly found that Michigan is leading the nation in many ways and should be used as a model for other states as they begin to address this national problem. I appreciate the time and generosity of the outstanding scientists who developed this report.

3 I know their work will serve to inform the people of Michigan and others across the nation as the United States comes to grip with a growing contaminant for which the science continues to emerge.

5 Bartell is an Associate Professor in Public Health, Statistics, and Epidemiology at the University of California, Irvine. His research interest is environmental health methodology, with an emphasis on environmental epidemiology, exposure science, and risk assessment. For the C8 Health Project/C8 Science Panel Studies, Dr. Bartell has worked on linking fate and transport models and a pharmacokinetic model for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, or C8 ) with individual-level residential histories and health outcomes.

6 He has also developed formal statistical methods for biomarker-based exposure estimation and for estimating the biological half-life from observational data in the presence of ongoing exposures. He has served on Scientific advisory committees for the National Research Council, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the Department of Energy, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

7 Dr. Jennifer Field Jennifer Field is a Professor in the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology, College of Agriculture Studies at Oregon State University. Dr. Field s current research focuses on the development and application of quantitative analytical methods for organic micropollutants and their transformation products in natural and engineered systems. Early in her career, she focused on field-based research to investigate the fate and transport of surfactants in groundwater and wastewater treatment systems.

8 She participated in interdisciplinary research with hydrologists and engineers in order to develop push-pull tracer test methods for determining in-situ rates of reductive dechlorination and anaerobic biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbons. She was a pioneer in the area of fluorochemical occurrence and behavior, with a focus on groundwater contaminated by fire-fighting foams, municipal wastewater treatment systems, and in municipal landfill leachates. Her current research in the area of environmental analytical chemistry concentrates on the use of large-volume injections with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry as a quantitative yet cost and time-saving approach for the analysis of aqueous environmental samples.

9 Applications of the large-volume injection technique include measurements of illicit drugs in municipal wastewater as an alternative indicator of community drug use; components of the Corexit oil dispersant in seawater, and newly-identified fluorochemicals in groundwater and landfill leachate. She serves as an Associate Editor for Environmental Science and Technology and was an editor for Water Research from 2004-2008. Dr. A. Daniel (Dan) Jones is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Department of Chemistry at Michigan State University, where he also has served as Director of the MSU Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core since 2005.

10 For the past 34 years, his research has focused on development and application of mass spectrometry and chromatographic separations for global metabolite analysis, analysis of protein modification by reactive metabolites of drugs, toxins, and endogenous xenobiotic compounds, and analytical chemistry in clinical, environmental, agricultural, and bioenergy applications. His current research centers on development and application of rapid, sensitive, and information-rich mass spectrometry techniques for large-scale profiling and localization of metabolites (metabolomics), elucidating metabolite structures, and measuring exposures to xenobiotic substances.
