The purpose of this project is to
understand the prevalence of long-term respiratory morbidity in
styrene-exposed workers. The sites of field research for this
project are Bellingham, WA and Kelso, WA, which were the sites of
two reinforced plastic boatbuilding plants that closed in 1989 and
1993. A maximum of 676 study subjects will be enrolled to
participate in a medical and job history questionnaire, lung
function testing, color vision assessment, and biomarker
analysis.
