A national investigation into the exposure of chemicals in drinking water has listed eight sites within the U.S. to be examined. Because Paulsboro, New Jersey, was listed as one of these eight sites, residents are being invited to have their blood and urine tested.
The associate professor of environmental and occupational health at Rutgers School of Public Health and The Environmental and Occupational Health Science Institute has stated that there are several concerns about the health effects of these chemicals that have been found in the blood of nearly almost everyone tested. One issue with this contaminants is that researchers are unaware of how long the water has been contaminated and they are unaware of the health effects of these chemicals.
