GuLF Study

Workers fight the fire on the Deepwater Horizon, 21 April 2010.

  • ... that the US GuLF Study is visiting 20,000 clean-up workers from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill to collect blood, hair, urine, toenail and domestic-dust samples, looking for health effects?
  • Comment: The hook is in the second paragraph of the article's section 2.2 (entitled "Focus"). The current sentence is:

    "Around 20,000 of the workers will be visited at home, and blood, hair, urine and toenail samples will be collected to look for biomarkers, such as DNA adducts and chromosome damage; lung-function tests will be carried out, and dust samples will be collected from their homes."

    The sources are in the current footnote 12. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
