Gulf Coast Health Alliance: health Risks related to the Macondo Spill (GC-HARMS)

“墨西哥湾沿岸健康联盟：与Macondo漏油相关的健康风险(Go-Harms)”联盟将 解决我们的社区合作伙伴在深水地平线(DWH)灾难后提出的关于墨西哥湾海鲜安全的严重关切。GC-HARMS财团的参与者包括 德州大学医学院分校(UTMB)、宾夕法尼亚大学(UPenn)、德克萨斯农工大学加尔维斯顿分校(TAMUG)以及受DWH灾难影响的墨西哥湾沿岸社区。社区合作伙伴联盟的代表是路易斯安那州环境行动网络(洛杉矶巴吞鲁日)、环境和经济正义中心(密西西比州比洛克西)、密西西比州越南渔民联盟(密西西比州格尔夫波特)和联合侯马民族(洛杉矶侯马)。GC-HARMS联盟的使命是通过促进多学科、多机构的基础和临床研究人员之间的协作互动来探索与DWH灾难相关的健康影响和社区复原力，并得到社区合作伙伴的积极参与，以开展与石油泄漏对人类健康的影响相关的基础和转化性研究。GCHARMS联盟的总体主题是了解和宣传接触潜在有害的食源性多环芳烃(PAH)对人类健康的风险。我们与社区合作伙伴合作制定的目标是，1)评估自给性捕捞社区捕获的供个人消费和商业销售的海湾海鲜的多环芳烃污染，2)确定岩源性多环芳烃的毒性，3)在社区合作伙伴参与的一项纵向研究中评估暴露和健康结果，测量多个应激源生物标志物，以及4)将结果传播给我们的社区利益相关者。为了实现这些目标，GC-HARMS联盟由四个研究项目组成，其中包括一个基于社区的参与性研究项目、一个密切合作的社区外联和传播核心以及一个行政核心。此外，该联盟还利用两个NIEHS P30核心中心的支持来提供必要的资源。

The "Gulf Coast Health Alliance: health Risks related to the Macondo Spill (GO-HARMS)" consortium will address critical concerns raised by our community partners regarding Gulf of Mexico seafood safety in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Disaster. The GC-HARMS consortium participants include the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG), and Gulf Coast communities impacted by the DWH Disaster. The coalition of community partners are represented by the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (Baton Rouge, LA), the Center for Environmental and Economic Justice (Biloxi, MS), the Mississippi Coalition for Vietnamese Fishertolk (Gulfport, MS), and the United Houma Nation (Houma, LA). The mission of the GC-HARMS consortium is to explore the health impacts and community resiliency related to the DWH Disaster by fostering collaborative interactions amongst multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional basic and clinical investigators¿buttressed by active participation of the community partners¿to pursue both fundamental and translational research pertinent to the effects of the oil spill on human health. The overall theme of the GCHARMS consortium is to understand and communicate the human health risks of exposure to potentially hazardous food-borne petrogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). Our goals developed in collaboration with our community partners are to, 1) assess PAH contamination of Gulf seafood caught by the subsistence fishing communities for personal consumption and commercial sale, 2) determine the toxicity of petrogenic PAH, 3) evaluate exposure and health outcomes in a longitudinal study involving the community partners measuring multiple stressor biomarkers, and 4) disseminate the findings to our community stakeholders. To achieve these objectives, the GC-HARMS consortium is comprised of four research projects, including a Community-based Participatory Research project, a closely allied Community Outreach and Dissemination Core, and an Administrative Core. Additionally, the consortium leverages support from two NIEHS P30 Core Centers to provide essential resources.
