Proposed Project
Exposure to Aerosolized Brevetoxins
during Red Tide Events (OMB No.
0920–0494)—Reinstatement with
change—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Karenia brevis (formerly
Gymnodinium breve) is the marine
dinoflagellate responsible for extensive
blooms (called Florida red tides) that
form in the Gulf of Mexico. K. brevis
produces potent toxins, called
brevetoxins, which have been
responsible for killing millions of fish
and other marine organisms. The
biochemical activity of brevetoxins is
not completely understood and there is
still little information regarding human
health effects from environmental
exposures, such as inhaling brevetoxin
that has been aerosolized and swept
onto the coast by offshore winds. The
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) has
recruited people who work along the
coast of Florida and who are
periodically occupationally exposed to
aerosolized red tide toxins.
NCEH administered a baseline
respiratory health survey and conducted
pre- and post-shift pulmonary function
tests (PFTs) during a time when there is
no red tide reported near the area. When
a red tide developed, NCEH
administered a symptom survey and
conducted PFTs. NCEH compared
symptoms reported before the shift with
symptoms reported after the shift. NCEH
also examined changes in PFT test
results (post-shift values compared to
pre-shift values). NCEH did these
comparisons during a time when there
was no red tide and during a time when
there was a red tide and then examined
the data to see if red tide exposure had
an effect on symptom reports or PFT
results.
NCEH requests a reinstatement with
change of data collection procedures for
the previously approved project for an
additional three years. The respondents
for this reinstatement with change are a
recruited group of approximately 25
lifeguards (aged ≥18) who work along
the coast of Florida and who
periodically are occupationally exposed
to aerosolized red tide toxins. The
lifeguards and employees of the
Department of Environmental
Protection, (Sarasota County), Florida
were recruited via a posted notice
requesting volunteers. NCEH plans to
re-contact study participants previously
enrolled and add additional lifeguards
hired previously to work at the relevant
beaches.
Unfortunately, the exposures
experienced by the study cohort have
been minimal, and NCEH plans to
conduct another study (using the same
symptom surveys and PFTs) during a
more severe red tide event. First, NCEH
wants to quantify the levels of cytokines
in nasal exudates to assess whether they
can be used to verify exposure and to
demonstrate a biological effect (i.e.,
allergic response) following inhalation
of aerosolized brevetoxins. NCEH will
collect nasal exudates at the same time
the PFTs are done. We propose to add
a component to this study to assess
whether loratidine, an antihistamine
available in over-the-counter products,
such as Claritin, can relieve the upper
respiratory symptoms induced by
inhaling aerosolized brevetoxins during
Florida red tides.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 16.

American MSM. The study entails
conducting interviews with a sample of
African American MSM, ages 18 to 44
to: (1) Explore participants’ knowledge,
attitudes and beliefs about HIV and HIV
testing to inform the development of
campaign messages; (2) identify the
most motivating approach, supporting
data, and key messages for materials
development; (3) test creative concepts,
potential campaign themes, logos and
names; and (4) test creative materials
developed based on the findings from
the previous phases of the research.
Findings from this study will be used by
CDC and its partners to inform current
and future program activities.
A total of 288 participants will be
screened for eligibility in order to find
144 people who will participate in an
interview. All interview participants
(n=144) will complete a short ‘‘Paper
and Pencil’’ questionnaire. There are no
costs to the respondents other than their
time.
