East Palestine chemical exposure and genetic change study
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the chemical spill in East Palestine in 2023 caused changes in people's genes. It involves giving a blood or saliva sample to measure any tiny genetic changes linked to the exposure. It helps researchers understand long-term health risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Lived in Columbiana County, Ohio; Mahoning County, Ohio; Beaver County, PA; or Lawrence County, PA on February 3, 2023.
- Currently live in the United States.
- Willing to provide a blood or saliva sample for genetic testing.
- Must provide a valid address for where you lived on February 3, 2023.

This study is looking at DNA changes (mutations) in healthy people and in people who may have DNA damage from things like the sun, smoking, past diseases, or treatments like radiation. The goal is to better understand how these changes happen and what they mean.
This study uses genetic testing to learn more about the causes of health conditions in Amish and Mennonite people. It may help researchers understand patterns in this community and improve future care.
This study looks for DNA changes in veterans who were exposed to open burn pits during deployment. It aims to understand health risks from these exposures.
This study tests whether public health campaigns (like informational materials and community outreach) help reduce lead exposure in homes located in areas with documented lead risk. Researchers will visit your home, answer questions about your environment, and do blood tests to measure lead levels before and after the campaign.
This study looks at how chemicals in the soil, water, or air on certain streets in Hillburn (NY), Ringwood (NJ), and Mahwah (NJ) might affect your health. You might be able to join if you're 18-80 and have lived on one of these streets for at least 2 years.
This study looks at whether certain chemicals in the environment might be linked to breast cancer. Researchers will test tissue and blood samples to find biological clues (biomarkers) related to this exposure. If you are scheduled for breast lesion removal, you may be able to join.
