“…These effects include potential cytogenetic alterations, such as chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei (Zijno et al 2007; Fenech 2002), in the cryopreserved peripheral lymphocytes. These alterations have been observed previously among oil spill clean-up workers (Perez-Cadahia et al 2008b; Rodriguez-Trigo et al 2010; Perez-Cadahia et al 2007; Laffon et al 2016) and benzene-exposed workers (McHale et al 2008), including in blood samples collected at least two years after exposure (Rodriguez-Trigo et al 2010). The samples may also be useful in examining possible endocrine effects, such as altered plasma levels of cortisol and prolactin, which were previously noted among oil spill clean-up workers (Perez-Cadahia et al 2008a; Perez-Cadahia et al 2007); such analyses will need to consider time of collection to account for circadian rhythms.…”

Such effects were also observed in relation to certain metals commonly found in crude oil (Vrabie et al 2011; Lafuente 2013), although metal concentrations in the DWH oil were relatively low (Liu et al 2012).…”

“…These include increased DNA damage (Perez-Cadahia et al 2006; 2008; Aguilera et al 2010; Laffon et al 2016), chromosomal abnormalities (Rodriguez-Trigo et al 2010), and altered hormone levels (Perez-Cadahia et al 2007; 2008; Laffon et al 2013). Some of these effects, including chromosomal alterations, elevated plasma cortisol levels, and decreased serum kynurenine levels, persisted for 2 years (Rodriguez-Trigo et al 2010) or more (Laffon et al 2013; 2016) after exposures lasting 3–9 months on average.…”

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) explosion in the Gulf of Mexico led to the largest ever marine oil spill by volume. The GuLF STUDY is investigating possible human health effects associated with oil spill activities. One objective of the study is to utilize biological specimens from study participants to investigate spill-related health effects. This paper describes the methods for collecting, processing, shipping, and storing specimens during the enrollment phase of the study. GuLF STUDY participants living in Gulf states (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and eastern Texas) were eligible to complete a home visit at enrollment, one to three years after the DWH explosion. During this visit, blood, urine, toenail and hair clippings, and house dust samples were collected. Specimens were shipped overnight to a central processing laboratory in containers with cold and ambient temperature compartments. Most blood and urine specimens were then aliquoted and stored in liquid nitrogen vapor or at ‒80°C, with some samples stored at ‒20°C. A total of 11,193 participants completed a home visit, and over 99% provided at least one biospecimen. Most participants provided blood (93%), urine (99%), and toenail clippings (89%), and 40% provided hair. Nearly all participants (95%) provided house dust samples. Most samples were received by the lab one (58%) or two (25%) days after collection. These biospecimens enable investigation of a range of biomarkers of spill-related health effects, and possibly some biomarkers of spill-related exposures. The biospecimen collection, handling, and storage protocols were designed to maximize current and future scientific value within logistical and budgetary constraints and can serve as a template for future studies conducted in similar time-critical and geographically dispersed settings.

“…Natural and/or anthropogenic PBPs, PBAs, OH-PBDEs, MeO-PBDEs, and PBDDs have been detected in a variety of living species around the world (Ashizuka et al 2008;Chung et al 2003;Fernandes et al 2008;Haglund et al 2007;Kelly et al 2008;Malmvärn et al 2005a;McKinney et al 2006;Pena-Abaurrea et al 2009;Routti et al 2009;Verreault et al 2005;Vetter et al 2007;Watanabe et al 1983;Whitfield et al 1999), and such occurrence is certainly not a local phenomenon in the Baltic Sea. However, earlier reports indicate that the concentrations of OH-PBDE, MeO-PBDEs, and PBDDs in Baltic biota are higher than in other regions.…”

“…Because HBCD elutes from the GC column at temperatures higher than 160 C, and due to thermal isomerization, a broad, unresolved peak is observed [2]. Since the response factors of the three diastereoisomers do not apparently differ very much [38], HBCDs can be quantified as total HBCDs by GC-MS. However, uncertainties are larger compared to those obtained for a number of PBDEs, which is shown by a larger relative SD in quality charts (ca.…”

In this chapter, an overview of current analytical methods, including different sample preparation techniques as well as the different instrumental approaches, is presented. The strategy literature search for the preparation of this chapter was based on the recent analytical reviews published on brominated flame retardants (BFRs), with emphasis on hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA). Additionally, we have included all new articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, conference proceedings, or official reports found on the internet. The analytical procedures based on the use of liquid chromatography, used for the determination of some BFRs such as TBBPA, HBCD, as well as some metabolites and transformation products are presented. Analytical performances of the different approaches (ESI, APCI, and APPI as ionization modes) are reported and compared with those obtained by gas chromatographic techniques. Conclusions and future perspectives are outlined.
