Journal ArticleDOI

Association between health information, use of protective devices and occurrence of acute health problems in the Prestige oil spill clean-up in Asturias and Cantabria (Spain): a cross-sectional study

TL;DR: Proper health-protection briefing was associated with greater use of protective devices and lower frequency of health problems, however, among seamen the results indicate poorer dissemination of information and the need of specific guidelines for removing fuel-oil at sea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
