| Oregon State University | P30 ES 000210 | Joseph Beckman | Monthly air and water PAH measurements have been collected since May using a passive sampling device that collects bioavailable environmental exposures. Over 1200 analytes are being measured. Samples are also being screened for toxicity using a zebrafish model. |
| Harvard University | P30 ES 000002 | Doug Dockery | Effects of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on Seafood Quality in the Gulf of Mexico: A Before-After Comparison of PAHs in Recreationally Consumed Species is being conducted. Archived fish samples that were collected during 2005-2007 are being reanalyzed for the presence of PAHs. Additional fish have been collected since the DWH disaster to determine if there have been changes in PAH profiles since the oils spill. |
| University of Texas Medical Branch – Galveston | P30 ES 006676 | Cornelius Elferink | The Community Outreach and Engagement Core holds routine town hall meetings with community groups residing in LA that were affected by the DWH disaster. Community needs and concerns are being identified. |
| University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee | P30 ES 004184 | David Petering | Berm sand, submerged sand and water samples are being collected from 21 beaches across 400 miles of coastline for analysis of microbial community diversity. They will test whether microbial communities reflect the degree of oil contamination and if microbial taxonomic groups can be used as biomarkers for potential oil exposure. |
| University of Medicine and Dentistry | P30 ES 005022 | Helmut Zarbl | Study to determine significance of beach exposure depending on location (beach, marsh) and oil deposit character by acquiring aged oil samples for analysis; collecting community exposure data using micro-environmental sampling and real time monitoring in Pensacola and Louisiana |
| Arizona State University | U01 ES 016064 | Nonngjian Tao | The ASU team took prototype wearable chemical sensor system that they have developed for detecting hydrocarbon to the Gulf following the oil spill. Hiring a shrimp boat they determined whether their device was able to measure elevated levels of hydrocarbon while boating between Foster Canal and Bay Batiste and vice versa. |
| Oregon State University | R21 ES 020120* | Kim A. Anderson | This project will employ passive sampling devices (PSDs) in the Gulf of Mexico to measure contaminants from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in an effort to connect environmental exposures with biological response. A zebrafish model will be used to test the toxicological effects. |
| Louisiana State University | R21 ES 020061 | Edward Trapido | Study to identify the acute and long-term effects of the health risks of exposures to oil and dispersant related toxicants following the DWH explosion. They propose a feasibility study to determine participation rates, barriers to participation, and the ability to obtain biological samples from family members of clean-up workers in four of the most exposed parishes (counties) in SE Louisiana. |
