conditions, and pregnancy outcomes were related to occupational perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure.METHODS : We surveyed current and former employees of a perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride production facility, using a self-administered questionnaire to ascertain several cancers and health conditions. Female cohort members also completed a brief pregnancy history. We requested medical records to validate reported melanoma, breast, prostate, and colon cancers. PFOS exposure was estimated based on a job exposure matrix up to the year of the diagnosis of the condition.RESULTS : Of the 1,895 eligible participants, 1,400 questionnaires were returned. No association was observed between working in a PFOS-exposed job and the risk of any of the surveyed conditions.CONCLUSION : We observed no association between working in a PFOS-exposed job and several cancers, common health conditions, and birth weight.
