A lawyer for the C8 exposure class action lawsuit met with mid-Ohio valley residents to talk about a recent West Virginia University study.

Attorney Harry Deitzler says Little Hocking Water customers have the highest C8 blood concentrations of people throughout the world.

Deitzler is one of the attorneys handling the class action lawsuit regarding possible associations between C8 exposure and health issues.

Deitzler is urging everyone who participated in the C8 study to respond to any follow-up questionnaires.

"It's very important that they respond because the science panel is doing followups that involve much more detailed data and more accurate results. The more people that participate the more detailed the science panel's data is going to be," said Deitzler.

Deitzler says right now, they are waiting for the science panel to release results saying whether or not C8 is linked to serious health problems.
