All consented participants who complete the survey receive a well test kit (via US mail or in person), which includes instructions, bottles, and an information sheet that requires participants to provide name / address and confirm they have followed recommended sampling protocol. Participants return samples to project staff, who will deliver samples to the UNC Superfund Research Program lab in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.
