Glad you contacted me! EPA's Office of Research and Development has an effort underway to compile information on
all the PFA5oompounds. |vviU forward your email tothem in hopes they have already researched GenX. When do you
need this information? Is there some pending meeting or event where you would like to present this information?

North Carolina is a home -base fora PerOuoroa|kyl chemical manufacturer in Fayetteville, N[ along the [ape Fear River.
Recent research by joint investigators from NC State and the US EPA office in NC have detected the presence of "GenX"
the trade name for perfluoro-2-propoxypropanoic acid (PFPrOPrA), along with other PFASs in the Cape Fear River. Like
other "emerging contaminants", this knowledge has understandably alarmed the downstream water treatment plant
and local citizens.
Our attempts to research the toxicity of GenX has provided very limited knowledge. Do you know who might be working
on this topic? We wish to provide the best information to the newspapers and citizens, we, how/ever, have scarce data
to examine.
Any help that you can offer is greatly appreciated.
