Fine particulate matter and incident coronary heart disease events up to 10 years of follow-up among Deepwater Horizon oil spill workers

Dazhe Chen, Dale P. Sandler, Alexander P. Keil, Gerardo Heiss, Eric A. Whitsel, Gregory C. Pratt, Patricia A. Stewart, Mark R. Stenzel, Caroline P. Groth, Sudipto Banerjee, Tran B. Huynh, Jessie K. Edwards, W. Braxton Jackson II, Joseph Engeda, Richard K. Kwok, Emily J. Werder, Kaitlyn G. Lawrence, Lawrence S. Engel

Exposure to volatile hydrocarbons and neurologic function among oil spill workers up to 6 years after the Deepwater Horizon disaster

Dazhe Chen, Emily J. Werder, Patricia A. Stewart, Mark R. Stenzel, Fredric E. Gerr, Kaitlyn G. Lawrence, Caroline P. Groth, Tran B. Huynh, Gurumurthy Ramachandran, Sudipto Banerjee, W. Braxton Jackson II, Kate Christenbury, Richard K. Kwok, Dale P. Sandler, Lawrence S. Engel

Summary: During the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster, oil spill response and cleanup (OSRC) workers were exposed to toxic volatile components of crude oil. This study found that there were no adverse effects of crude oil exposure on neurological function among the overall study population. However, higher exposures to volatile components of crude oil were associated with modest deficits in neurologic function among OSRC workers who were age 50 years or older at study enrollment.

Fluorescence-estimated oil concentration (Foil) in the Deepwater Horizon subsea oil plume

Robyn N. Conmy, Alexander Hall, Devi Sundaravadivelu, Blake A. Schaeffer, Andrew R. Murray

Summary: Tracking the subsea oil plume during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill was conducted using both in situ fluorescence and discrete sample chemical analyses. Discrete samples provided a coarse picture of the oil plume footprint, while in situ fluorescence data improved the resolution. Through analysis of millions of continuous data points, fluorescence was found to serve as a proxy for BTEX concentration.

The Complexity of Spills: The Fate of the Deepwater Horizon Oil

Uta Passow, Edward B. Overton

Summary: The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest and deepest oil accident in US waters, with significant impacts on the marine ecosystem. The released oil underwent various mechanisms, including biodegradation, to transform and disperse, with some sedimenting onto the seafloor. Further research efforts have greatly increased our understanding of the fate of spilled oil, focusing on factors such as photooxidation, microbial communities, and marine oil snow formation.

Risk of longer-term neurological conditions in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Coast Guard Cohort Study - Five years of follow-up

Hristina Denic-Roberts, Lawrence S. Engel, Jeanine M. Buchanich, Rachel G. Miller, Evelyn O. Talbott, Dana L. Thomas, Glen A. Cook, Tina Costacou, Jennifer A. Rusiecki

Summary: In a study of USCG responders to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, it was found that self-reported oil spill cleanup exposures were associated with an increased risk of longer-term neurological conditions. Responders had a lower risk of headache, syncope and collapse, and disturbance of skin sensation compared to non-responders. However, responders who reported crude oil inhalation exposure had an increased risk of headaches, migraines, and other neurological conditions such as mononeuritis and tinnitus.

Counter-historical study of alternative dispersant use in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response

Deborah P. French-McCay, Hilary Robinson, Michael Bock, Deborah Crowley, Paul Schuler, Jill J. Rowe

Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of subsea dispersant injection (SSDI) during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and evaluates the potential alternatives if dispersants were not used or used more aggressively. The results show that the actual use of SSDI reduced risk to varying degrees, but more effective use of dispersants could have significantly reduced exposures and relative risks across the ecosystem.

Prevalence of human papillomavirus genotypes in high-grade cervical precancer and invasive cervical cancer from cancer registries before and after vaccine introduction in the United States

Jacqueline M. Mix, Mona Saraiya, Trevor D. Thompson, Troy D. Querec, April Greek, Thomas C. Tucker, Edward S. Peters, Charles F. Lynch, Brenda Y. Hernandez, Glenn Copeland, Marc T. Goodman, Elizabeth R. Unger

Summary: The study compared HPV prevalence among high-grade cervical precancers and invasive cervical cancers before and after HPV vaccine availability. No significant reduction in vaccine-type prevalence was observed between the two studies, likely due to low HPV vaccination coverage among women in the postvaccine study. Monitoring HPV-type prevalence through population-based strategies remains important for evaluating the impact of the HPV vaccine.

Summary: The study found that participants living in the most deprived neighborhoods had a higher risk of all-cause mortality and prostate cancer-specific mortality. Therefore, neighborhood-level resources or health interventions are essential to improve survival among men with PCa. Further research should focus on understanding the mechanisms through which the neighborhood environment impacts mortality.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of a range of deprivation indices on cancer survival in a cohort of self-identified Black women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The results showed that high SES-related indices, such as Yost, Kolak urbanicity, mobility, SES dimensions, and concentrated disadvantage index, significantly improved survival. However, area deprivation index and area level poverty did not have a major impact.

Work-family spillover and depression: Are there racial differences among employed women?

Ariane L. Rung, Evrim Oral, Edward S. Peters

Summary: This study found that there are differences in work-family spillover levels between women of different races, with White women experiencing higher levels of negative spillover and positive work-to-family spillover. Higher levels of negative work-to-family spillover were related to greater depressive symptoms in both Blacks and Whites, while negative family-to-work spillover was only related to higher levels of depressive symptoms in Black women. Protective effects of positive family-to-work spillover on depressive symptoms were observed in White women only.
