Modeled Air Pollution from In Situ Burning and Flaring of Oil and Gas Released Following the Deepwater Horizon Disaster

Gregory C. Pratt et al.

Summary: The GuLF STUDY investigates the health effects on workers involved in the oil spill response and clean-up after the Deepwater Horizon explosion. The study suggests that the burning of oil and gas during the clean-up may have resulted in significantly elevated PM2.5 concentrations above the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standard.

Fine Particulate Matter and Lung Function among Burning-Exposed Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Workers

Dazhe Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the association between exposure to PM2.5 from controlled burning during the DWH disaster and decreased lung function. The results show that workers with higher cumulative PM2.5 exposure have significantly lower forced expiratory volume and forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity ratio compared to those not involved in burning.

Assessing Exposures from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Response and Clean-up

Patricia Stewart et al.

Summary: The GuLF Study investigates the health effects of work on the response and clean-up after the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil release. The study assessed inhalation and dermal exposures to various chemicals, and found that some workers may have experienced high levels of air concentration.

Cardiovascular disease in the World Trade Center Health Program General Responder Cohort

Nancy L. Sloan et al.

Summary: The study examined the association between exposure to toxic materials during the September 2001 World Trade Center attacks and increased cardiovascular disease risk among over 90,000 rescue and recovery responders. The results showed a significantly higher incidence and risk of cardiovascular disease in responders exposed to WTC-related toxic materials.

Coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation: a vicious cycle

Feng Liang et al.

Summary: Coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated by atrial fibrillation (AF) is on the rise, with a strong correlation between the two diseases and common risk factors. CHD can promote the progression of AF, while AF also affects CHD through various mechanisms, creating a vicious cycle between the two diseases.

Daily nonaccidental mortality associated with short-term PM2.5 exposures in Delhi, India

Bhargav Krishna et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between daily PM2.5 exposures and nonaccidental mortality in Delhi, India, finding that a 25 μg/m3 increase in exposure was associated with a 0.8% increase in daily nonaccidental mortality and a 1.5% increase in mortality among those aged 60 years or over. The exposure-response relationship was nonlinear, with significant potential for decreasing mortality by reducing PM2.5 exposure levels below current standards.
