Due to public concern regarding the potential adverse health effects of exposure to Santa Monica Bay waters, a case-control study of acute illnesses among Los Angeles County lifeguards was conducted. Workers' compensation claimants (N = 112) were matched to healthy lifeguards working in the same year and having the same job classification. Conditional logistic regression showed that the southernmost worksites of the bay were associated with all acute illnesses (OR = 14.4, 95% CI = 4.7, 44.8) and with ear infections (OR = 12.5, 95% CI = 2.9, 53.4).
由于公众对接触圣莫尼卡湾水域可能产生的健康不良影响表示关注，因此对洛杉矶县救生员中的急性疾病进行了一项病例对照研究。将工伤索赔者（N = 112）与同年工作且工作分类相同的健康救生员进行匹配。条件逻辑回归显示，该湾最南端的工作地点与所有急性疾病（比值比= 14.4，95%置信区间= 4.7，44.8）以及耳部感染（比值比= 12.5，95%置信区间= 2.9，53.4）相关。
