评估深水地平线(DWH)灾难发生1-3年后，漏油清理工作中暴露的总烃(THC)与肺功能之间的关系。我们使用了海湾研究的数据，这是一大群参与应对DWH灾难的成年人，以及其他接受过安全培训但没有受雇的人。我们分析了来自6288名工人的数据，他们进行了两项可接受的肺活量测试。我们根据工作暴露矩阵估计了暴露水平。用1秒用力呼气量(FEV1；mL)、用力肺活量(FVC；mL)和FEV1/FVC比值(%)评价肺功能。在清理工人中，肺功能测量没有受到THC暴露水平的影响。我们没有观察到DWH灾难发生1-3年后，清洁工人暴露于THC与肺功能之间的关系。
To assess the relationship between total hydrocarbon (THc) exposures attributed to oil spill clean-up work and lung function 1-3 years after the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster. We used data from the GuLF STUDY, a large cohort of adults who worked on response to the DWH disaster and others who were safety trained but not hired. We analyzed data from 6,288 workers with two acceptable spirometry tests. We estimated THc exposure levels from a job exposure matrix. We evaluated lung function using the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1; mL), the forced vital capacity (FVC; mL) and the FEV1/FVC ratio (%). Lung function measures did not differ by THc exposure levels among clean-up workers. We did not observe an association between THc exposure and lung function among clean-up workers 1-3 years following the DWH disaster.
