Results of the 'Safe Shrimp' Study● Samples of white shrimp were collected from
specific, local harvest areas and from two local grocery stores in the fall of 2010
● Each sample was analyzed for the presence and levels of >61 specific petroleum-related compounds, many found in Louisiana sweet crude oil
● Results are given in “parts per billion” and indicate almost no crude oil or other hydrocarbon compounds are present in the locally harvested samples
● Observed levels of total hydrocarbons were well below State and Federal consumption safety threshold levels

Next Steps● Long term seafood study (NIEHS Grant) ● Apply model to other community
environmental concerns● Agricultural Concerns● Soil Contamination● Water Contamination● Air Quality
