One constant concern with the BP Gulf oil spill disaster is the health of workers involved in clean up. With this clean-up crews, and independent voluntary come into direct contact with the aftermath at an early stage in the cleanup process the long-term effects of exposure are unknown.

Fox News reported that only 2 months in the cleaning effort more than 400 cases complaints centres were recorded of exposure by the American Association of poison. In Louisiana alone more than 100 oil that spill in connection with the cases reported, 74 of them employees of BP, is involved.

Early symptoms from exposure nausea, dizziness, severe headache, skin irritation and difficulties are breathing, all references to chemical exposure. Exposure to the pollutants is not the only danger facing workers - heat index on cleanup sites can reach well over 100 degrees and heat exhaustion is another there is growing concern.

New measures to screen and train workers from cleanup tasks have been implemented to try and limit the health effects on the involved. Because not previously an oil disaster has the United States this massive, there is still concern about the long-term health risks, which can manifest not for several years.

In the last 50 years there were at least 400 small oil spills all over the world, but studied only 7 seriously for long-term effects on both environment and close to live. This lack of information, to work with is spurred on monitoring health care organizations in the Gulf States, properly document the current disaster.

One of the most ambitious programs implemented, by the National Institute for occupational safety and health is the prosecution of almost 15,000 of the 35,000 oil spill response workers. A tracking system, which hopefully is workers of part of voluntary in the analysis and support of those directly in contact with cleaning efforts and exposure to be in the long term health.
