We compared cancer incidence rates from the WaTCH cohort to the state and nation, and further examined its association with oil spill exposure. The impact of ambient PM2.5 and BTEX-H air pollution concentrations on mental health outcomes and lung function were assessed, and we subsequently evaluated these associations for differences across levels of oil spill exposure.The age-adjusted cancer incidence rates from 2010 to 2021 were similar across the WaTCH cohort, state, and nation, with oil spill exposure having no effect. Ambient PM2.5 exposure was borderline associated with depressive symptomatology (PR: 1.037, 95% CI: 1.004, 1.071), but not with mental distress or lung function. Ambient BTEX-H exposure was associated with reduced lung function. The negative impact of ambient benzene concentration on FVC was strengthened among OSRC workers who participated in oil burning/flaring activities.Our work is the first to prospectively investigate the impact of an oil spill on the risk of cancer in surrounding communities, with the null associations possibly relieving cancer fears. The ambient PM2.5 air pollution findings suggest that individuals should not only be cognizant of the impact of air pollution on their cardiovascular and respiratory health, but also mental health. The results may assist the EPA in evaluating their current ambient PM2.5 guidelines. Our findings may also persuade the EPA to consider regulating ambient BTEX-H concentrations and may demonstrate a need for stronger occupational safeguards during OSRC activities. With large-scale oil spills continuing to occur and ambient air pollution levels plateauing or increasing throughout the country, our work provides vital knowledge for the protection of the public's mental and physical well-being.
