Hi Gandydancer, regarding this edit, for any medical claim it's better to source the material directly to the GuLF Study, or to another medical source discussing the study, rather than to a newspaper reporting on it. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:45, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Slim, I am using this as a guide:
Statements and information from reputable major medical and scientific bodies may be valuable encyclopedic sources. These bodies include the U.S. National Academies (including the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences), the British National Health Service, the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World Health Organization. The reliability of these sources range from formal scientific reports, which can be the equal of the best reviews published in medical journals, through public guides and service announcements, which have the advantage of being freely readable, but are generally less authoritative than the underlying medical literature.
I need to get this right as I am using it in the Health article as well. Gandydancer ( talk) 00:30, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
I'm moving this here for now, as I can't find it anywhere except in that newspaper article, which was copied in the NIEHS press release.
Richard Kwok of the NIEHS said in January 2013 that early research suggested that people working as roustabouts or floor hands on ships during the spill had a higher exposure to certain chemicals than those who worked inside the ship. He also said that the chemicals to which the workers were exposed were more likely to have come from the BP oil than from the diesel or gasoline fumes to which they were also exposed. Early results of another study, Women and Their Children's Health (WaTCH), indicated a statistically significant relationship between the reported symptoms of 244 women enrolled in the study and their exposure to the spill.
