Long-term Neurotoxic Effects of Early-life Exposure to  Tetrachloroethylene-contaminated Drinking Water

Conclusions The Cape Cod Health Study demonstrates how scientists can take advantage of unique “natural experiments” to learn about the health effects of environmental pollution. This body of work has improved our understanding of the long-term health effects of early-life exposure to this common environmental contaminant and will help risk assessors and policymakers ensure that drinking water supplies in the United States are safe for vulnerable populations.
