The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and the University at Albany's School of Public Health (UAlbany SPH) are collaborating on a five-year health study of exposure to drinking water contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) titled,"Multi-Site Study of the Health Implications of Exposure to PFAS Contaminated Drinking Water"(MSS). This study is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC's) Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR). As one of seven sites nationally selected for funding, New York's study will include ~1000 adult and 300 child participants from the Hoosick Falls and Newburgh areas. The MSS is the first national study to look at exposure to multiple PFAS at multiple sites; the goal of the study is to better understand the relationship between PFAS exposure and health outcomes (such as immune response, lipid metabolism, kidney function, thyroid disease, liver disease, glycemic parameters, and diabetes) in differing populations. In addition to completing the MSS CORE research activities as prescribed, the NY-site will also be conducting additional investigator-initiated research projects that: 1) are responsive to the community, 2) serve to enhance the CORE and, 3) inform future PFAS related hypotheses generalizable to other communities and study sites.
