The National Library of Medicine's indexers, who file every article in PubMed under subject headings (MeSH), filed 8 studies in our library under “Oil and Gas Industry”. The indexing is NLM's, not ours. For what these studies mean for people exposed, read our page on oil, gas and refining. Each entry links to the study on PubMed and to its journal's page in our library, where you can read the abstract.
You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
