The Pease International Tradeport, which features an airport, hundreds of businesses and several day care centers, has been called a textbook example of how to redevelop an air base. And the uncertainty isn't sitting well with the Pease parents whose children were found to have elevated levels of PFCs in their blood. None of the three women can definitely say the exposure has been linked to health problems. "Just because someone has these chemicals identified in their blood, it doesn't mean the chemicals are connected with past, present or future health problems," he said. Amico and other Pease families want federal authorities to fund a long-term health study of those exposed, as well as a medical monitoring program.
