Studying the gulf oil spill
The GuLF STUDY (Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study) is a health study for individuals who helped with the oil spill response and clean-up, took training, signed up to work, or were sent to the Gulf to help in some way after the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The GuLF Study, or Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study, is a five-year research project examining the human-health consequences of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010. The spill followed an explosion on a drilling rig leased by BP, the British oil company, and led to the release of over four million barrels The federal government’s first study of the nearly 15-year-long oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico estimates that up to 108 barrels per day — more than 4,500 gallons — is flowing from a site Nine years ago tomorrow—April 20, 2010—crude oil began leaking from the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig into the Gulf of Mexico in what turned out to be the largest marine oil spill in history. A long-term study suggests the oil is still affecting the salt marshes of the Gulf Coast, On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 people and releasing 210 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico for a total of 87 days. The Gulf oil spill is recognized as the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Within days of the April 20, 2010 explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 people, underwater cameras revealed the BP pipe was leaking oil and gas on the ocean floor about 42 miles off the coast of Louisiana. The BP oil spill also known as Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill, Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, BP Disaster or the Macondo Blowout refer to the most dangerous oil spill ever to happen in the Gulf of Mexico or in history of oil spills. The spill was greater than previous Exxon Vlandez oil spill in Alaska and the Lxtoc oil blowout in the coast of Mexico.
13 Feb 2020 The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was approximately 30 percent larger than previously thought, according to a study published Wednesday.
25 Aug 2018 In several studies, longer durations of oil spill work were associated with acute respiratory symptoms, including among US Coast Guard 30 Apr 2018 Laboratory studies conducted with coral species showed that coral larva exposed to oil and dispersant had lower survival rates and difficulty However, no studies have examined the association between oil spill The Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study (GuLF Study) enrolled Deepwater Horizon OSRC 13 Feb 2020 Deepwater Horizon disaster had much worse impact than believed, study finds.

Effects of 2010 BP oil spill 12 Feb 2020 Nearly 10 years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a study suggests "invisible and toxic oil" made the spill much worse than some experts The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history, releasing millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. As caretakers of 13 Feb 2020 The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was approximately 30 percent larger than previously thought, according to a study published Wednesday.

25 Apr 2017 Research attention shifted dramatically to the Gulf of Mexico following Deepwater Horizon, rising from 2% of studies in 2004-2008 to 61% in 2014 20 Apr 2015 Linda Hooper-Bui, an entomologist at Louisiana State University, studies insects and spiders, which play often unnoticed but important roles in
The GuLF STUDY is focused on prospectively determining both physical and mental health effects related to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and is collecting information that can be used by individuals, communities and governments to better understand the consequences of oil spills and plan for future disasters.
19 Feb 2020 The environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was much worse that previously thought, according to a new 3 Dec 2019 the spill. The 10‐year‐long Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) initial funding included money to support a Coast Guard cohort study Coral reefs provide food, shelter, and habitat to thousands of organisms living in the Gulf of Mexico. However, their vulnerability to physical and toxicological An NOAA study reported this type of disease is caused by "toxic exposure to oil." Almost 20 percent were so ill they weren't expected to live.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill leaked about 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days, previous estimates found.
