Phthalate exposure is widespread among pregnant women and may be a risk factor for preterm birth. To investigate the prospective association between urinary biomarkers of phthalates in pregnancy birth individuals living US. Individual-level data were pooled from 16 preconception studies conducted Pregnant who delivered 1983 2018 provided 1 or more urine samples during included. Urinary phthalate metabolites quantified as exposure. Concentrations 11 standardized dilution mean repeated...
Objectives Long-term studies of oil spill responders are urgently needed as spills continue to occur. To this end, we established the prospective Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Oil Spill Coast Guard Cohort study. Methods DWH (n=8696) and non-responders (n=44 823) who were members US (20 April–17 December 2010) included. This cohort uses both prospective, objective health data from military medical encounters cross-sectional survey data. Here, describe cohort, present adjusted prevalence ratios...
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was the largest marine in U.S. history, involving response of tens thousands clean-up workers. Over 8500 United States Coast Guard personnel were deployed to spill. Little is understood about acute neurological effects clean-up-related exposures. Given large number people involved clean-ups, study these warranted.We utilized exposure, health, and lifestyle data from a post-deployment survey administered responders DWH Crude exposure assessed via...
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill response and cleanup (OSRC) workers were exposed to airborne total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-, m-, p-xylenes n-hexane (BTEX-H) from crude PM2.5 burning/flaring natural gas. Little is known about asthma risk among workers.We assessed the relationship between several spill-related exposures including job classes, THC, individual BTEX-H chemicals, mixture, using data Gulf Long-Term Follow-up (GuLF) Study, a prospective...
In 2010, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) led a clean-up response to Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. Human studies evaluating acute and longer-term cardiovascular conditions associated with spill-related exposures are sparse. Thus, we aimed investigate prevalent incident symptoms/conditions in DHW Oil Spill Cohort.Self-reported spill symptoms were ascertained from post-deployment surveys (n = 4,885). For all active-duty cohort members 45,193), prospective outcomes classified via International...
The GuLF Study is investigating adverse health effects from work on the response and clean-up after Deepwater Horizon explosion oil release. An essential necessary component of that study was exposure assessment. Bayesian statistical methods over 135 000 measurements total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, n-hexane (BTEX-H) were used to estimate inhalation exposures these chemicals for >3400 groups (EGs) formed three determinants: job/activity/task, location, time...
During the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster, oil spill response and cleanup (OSRC) workers were exposed to toxic volatile components of crude oil. Few studies have examined exposure individual hydrocarbon chemicals below occupational limits in relation neurologic function among OSRC workers.
Air pollution and greenness are environmental determinants of mental health, though existing evidence typically considers each exposure in isolation. We evaluated relationships between co-occurring air greenspace levels depression anxiety. estimated cross-sectional associations among 9015 Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study participants living the southeastern U.S. who completed Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (depression: score ≥ 10) Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-7 (anxiety: 10)....
Background: Previous studies have associated oil spill response and cleanup (OSRC) work with skin symptoms, but evidence is lacking on the specific exposure agents that contributed to these effects.Objectives: We investigated OSRC-related exposures, including dermal chemical agents, in relation acute longer-term conditions among 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) OSRC workers.Methods: At GuLF Study enrollment, workers reported duration of work, jobs, activities, tasks performed, contact crude...
Background: During the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster, controlled burning was conducted to remove oil from water. Workers near combustion sites were potentially exposed increased fine particulate matter [with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5μm (PM2.5)] levels. Exposure PM2.5 has been linked decreased lung function, but our knowledge, no study examined exposure encountered in an spill cleanup. Objective: We investigated association between estimated only burning/flaring of oil/gas and...
ABSTRACT Objectives The response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill was impacted by heat. We evaluated association between environmental heat exposure and self-reported heat-related symptoms in US Coast Guard disaster responders. Methods Utilizing climate data postdeployment survey responses from 3648 responders, we assigned categories based on both wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index (HI) measurements (median, mean, maximum). calculated prevalence ratios (PRs) 95% confidence...
Abstract Mental health effects are frequently reported following natural disasters. However, little is known about of living in a hazard-prone region on mental health. We analyzed data from 9312 Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study participants who completed standardized questionnaires including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (depression = score ≥10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-7 (anxiety and Primary Care PTSD Screen (PTSD ≥3). Geocoded residential addresses were linked to...

Few studies have examined exposure individual hydrocarbon chemicals below occupational limits in relation neurologic function among OSRC workers.Objectives: To investigate association several spill-related (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, n-hexane, i.e., BTEX-H) total petroleum hydrocarbons (THC) with DWH enrolled Gulf...
