2010年的深水地平线灾难导致了有史以来最大的海上石油泄漏。在漏油事故中工作的个人暴露在有毒物质和压力源中，可能导致不良影响。GuLF研究旨在调查石油泄漏暴露与多种潜在的身心健康影响之间的关系。参加者是通过电话从从事漏油反应和清理工作或接受安全培训的个人名单中招募的。2011年至2013年的入学面试收集了有关泄漏相关活动，人口统计，生活方式和健康的信息。在石油泄漏期间进行的接触测量与问卷调查的答复，以描述参与者的石油接触。来自海湾国家的参与者完成了家庭访问，收集了生物和环境样本，人体测量和临床测量以及其他健康和生活方式信息。正在跟踪参与者的健康状况变化。32，608人参加了该队列，11，193人完成了家访。大多数是年轻人（56.2% ≤ 45岁），男性（80.8%），居住在海湾国家（82.3%），并在漏油事件中至少工作1天（76.5%）。工人参与响应（18.0%），支持操作（17.5%），清理水（17.4%）或土地（14.6%），去污（14.3%）和行政支持（18.3%）。使用有序工作暴露矩阵，45%的人每日最大总碳氢化合物暴露水平≥ 1.0 ppm。GuLF研究提供了一个独特的机会来研究深水地平线石油泄漏对健康的潜在不利影响。GuLF研究团队的Kwok RK、Engel LS、米勒AK、Blair A、咖喱MD、杰克逊WB II、Stewart PA、Stenzel MR、Birnbaum LS、Sandler DP。2017.

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster led to the largest ever marine oil spill. Individuals who worked on the spill were exposed to toxicants and stressors that could lead to adverse effects. The GuLF STUDY was designed to investigate relationships between oil spill exposures and multiple potential physical and mental health effects. Participants were recruited by telephone from lists of individuals who worked on the oil spill response and clean-up or received safety training. Enrollment interviews between 2011 and 2013 collected information about spill-related activities, demographics, lifestyle, and health. Exposure measurements taken during the oil spill were used with questionnaire responses to characterize oil exposures of participants. Participants from Gulf states completed a home visit in which biological and environmental samples, anthropometric and clinical measurements, and additional health and lifestyle information were collected. Participants are being followed for changes in health status. Thirty-two thousand six hundred eight individuals enrolled in the cohort, and 11,193 completed a home visit. Most were young (56.2% ≤ 45 years of age), male (80.8%), lived in a Gulf state (82.3%), and worked at least 1 day on the oil spill (76.5%). Workers were involved in response (18.0%), support operations (17.5%), clean-up on water (17.4%) or land (14.6%), decontamination (14.3%), and administrative support (18.3%). Using an ordinal job exposure matrix, 45% had maximum daily total hydrocarbon exposure levels ≥ 1.0 ppm. The GuLF STUDY provides a unique opportunity to study potential adverse health effects from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
