Post-deepwater horizon blowout seafood consumption among children in Mobile County, Alabama
Journal Title: Pollution and Public Health - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was a major industrial disaster that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010. It is considered as the largest marine spill in history to date. The spill released more than 4.9 million barrels of crude oil along the coastline of four states in the United States including Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana affecting humans (response workers and communities) and disrupting ecosystems. A massive disaster response followed to prevent further spread of oil to the coastline using floating booms, skimmer ships, controlled burns and oil dispersants.
