1999年12月，油轮“Erika”。载有约 30 吨重燃油，在法国布列塔尼海岸前失事，污染了当地约 500 公里的海滩和岩石。许多鸟类也受到影响。 2000 年头几个月，沿海地区和许多鸟类都被清理干净。对参与这些清洁活动的人员和游客的健康风险进行了评估，重点是这种油的致癌特性。结果表明，风险仅限于徒手接触石油的人。首先，它们发生皮肤刺激和皮炎的风险增加，但是，这些影响通常是可逆的。其次，他们患皮肤肿瘤的风险增加，但由于皮肤与油的接触时间相对较短，因此这种风险被认为非常有限。 (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. 保留所有权利。
In December 1999 the oil tanker 'Erika'. carrying approximately 30 tons of heavy fuel oil, wrecked before the coast of Brittany (France), polluting the local beaches and rocks over a distance of some 500 km. Also numerous birds were affected. During the first months of 2000 the coastal area and many birds were cleaned. The health risk for people involved in these cleaning activities and for tourists was evaluated with emphasis on the carcinogenic properties of this oil. The outcome indicates that the risks were limited to people who had been in bare-handed contact with the oil. Firstly they had an increased risk for developing skin irritation and dermatitis, however, these effects are in general reversible. Secondly they had an increased risk for developing skin tumours, but since the dermal contacts with the oil were of relative short duration, this risk is considered to be very limited.
