Do you live near an oil refinery in Carson, Wilmington, or Torrance?
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles
are conducting a study on whether the retirement of oil refineries affects
air pollution exposure and respiratory health for nearby residents. Even though it isn’t about HF specifically, it should provide an excellent opportunity to provide more information about the hazards of living near the refinery.
Eligibility Criteria
– 18 years old or older
– Living within 2km of a refinery for at least 1 year
– Do not smoke any tobacco products
Study Requirements
– Wear a wristband for 7 days
– Health survey
– Blood pressure & lung function measures
Participants will receive $50
