 BELPRE, Ohio (AP) - Ted Johnson worked 35 years for a DuPont Co. chemical plant and believed what company officials said about the safety of the operation. Now, he's not so sure. Johnson and his wife, Barbara, are among more than 43,000 people in the mid-Ohio Valley who have signed up for tests to find out if a chemical used to make Teflon might harm their health.
"At first I thought 'What I don't know, won't hurt me,'" said Barbara Johnson. "We're 69 and I thought we've been doing pretty good."
The Johnsons don't have health problems and Ted Johnson never worked in the Teflon section of the plant.
