02/26/1993 - "To develop improved strategies for preventing fatal injuries (FIs) and NFIs among petroleum drilling workers, the Louisiana Office of Public Health (LOPH) analyzed data on injury-related incidents in the petroleum drilling industry during 1988-1990. "
05/01/2013 - "This study was performed to verify whether the exchange of the fuel used in the boilers of a crude oil refinery located in Cubatão (SE Brazil) would result in alterations on gas exchange, growth and leaf injuries in saplings of Psidium guajava 'Paluma'. "
12/01/1993 - "Based on a scheme originally designed for study of occupational injuries among off-shore petroleum drilling workers, eight data areas were designated and lists of categories were developed to permit applicability to a general injury surveillance program. "
02/01/1987 - "A randomised prospective trial was carried out to compare the use of semipermeable and petroleum gauze dressings in fingertip injuries. "
02/01/1987 - "To identify factors affecting the number of injuries experienced by petroleum drilling workers, we carried out a 44-month incidence density study on a cohort employed in January 1979 on mobile drilling units in the Gulf of Mexico. "

02/01/2011 - "This study characterises the epidemiology of people who sustained burns from leaking petroleum pipes in Lagos, Nigeria. "
01/01/2015 - "Compared with those in TSP-PM(2.5), gaseous phase, burn residue and unburned crude oil, eighty-nine PAHs in PM(2.5) are identified and quantified to investigate the composition, temporal and spatial distribution, and sources. "
04/15/2014 - "Contamination sources are: sugarcane burn before harvest and petroleum derivatives. "
02/01/2011 - "Records of burn patients treated in our hospital from June 1999 to September 2004 were studied and victims of petroleum pipeline fires treated from October 2004 to May 2007 interviewed. "
02/01/2011 - "Burns and fire disasters from leaking petroleum pipes in Lagos, Nigeria: an 8-year experience."

03/01/2012 - "To examine the association between exposure to stack emissions of SO(2) from petroleum refineries located in Montreal's (Quebec) east-end industrial complex and the prevalence of active asthma and poor asthma control among children living nearby. "
03/01/2012 - "Active and uncontrolled asthma among children exposed to air stack emissions of sulphur dioxide from petroleum refineries in Montreal, Quebec: a cross-sectional study."
07/01/2014 - "Associations between personal exposure to air pollutants and lung function tests and cardiovascular indices among children with asthma living near an industrial complex and petroleum refineries."
01/01/2001 - "The effect of indoor air pollution due to domestic cooking with biomass fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on the course of bronchial asthma was examined in one hundred non-smoking female asthmatics. "
04/15/2007 - "Risk of asthma attack was associated with residing near a grain mill (odds ratio (OR) = 1.35), petroleum refinery (OR = 1.44), asphalt plant (OR = 1.23), or power plant (OR = 1.28) (all p's < 0.05). "

04/01/2001 - "Among wives of farmers, some college education (OR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.1 to 9.9) and exposure to petroleum products (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.3 to 7.0) were associated with dermatitis. "
02/01/1946 - "Actual causes of certain occupational dermatoses; a further study of five hundred and thirty-two cases with special reference to dermatitis caused by certain petroleum solvents."
02/01/2011 - "The barrier film was at least as effective as petroleum ointments and more effective than zinc oxide formulations in preventing incontinence-associated dermatitis. "
02/01/2011 - "The barrier film is at least as clinically effective and potentially more cost-effective in incontinence-associated dermatitis prophylaxis and peri-wound skin protection than petroleum ointments or zinc oxide formulations, releasing health care resources for alternative use. "
02/01/2011 - "Nevertheless, the barrier film was more cost-effective than either petroleum ointments or zinc oxide formulations in managing incontinence-associated dermatitis and peri-wound skin protection, largely due to savings in nursing time. "
