NEWS: Many stressors associated with fracking due to perceived lack of transparency and trust
Pennsylvania residents living near unconventional natural gas developments using hydraulic fracturing, known by the slang term “fracking”, attribute several dozen health concerns and stressors to the Marcellus Shale developments in their area. Reported health impacts persist and increase over time, even after the initial drilling activity subsides. The study, which was published in the June issue of IJOEH, surveyed those who believe their health has been affected by hydraulic fracturing activities for self-reported symptoms and stressors. The most commonly cited concern was stress, which 76% of participants said they’d experienced. Among the leading causes of stress reported by the participants were feelings of being taken advantage of, having their concerns and complaints ignored, and being denied information or misled.
