  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted ten exposure assessments (EAs) in communities near current or former military bases known to have had elevated levels of PFAS in their drinking water. The levels exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2016 health advisory (HA) of 70 parts per trillion (ppt) and applicable state guidelines. The EAs provide information to communities about levels of PFAS in their bodies. Results allow ATSDR to provide recommendations to reduce exposure. ATSDR will also use the data collected from these EAs to help inform future studies on PFAS exposures.
  
  This document summarizes the findings from across all EA sites. Individual reports were published detailing the findings from each EA community. Additional information, including individual site reports, can be found at https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/activities/assessments.html.
