Human Health Effects Associated with Fracking

HERCULES Research Services Core Lead, Stefanie Sarnat, is on the research committee of HEI-Energy, an affiliate organization of the Health Effects Institute that focuses on environmental health issues surrounding onshore unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD, which is commonly referred to as fracking) in the US.

The committee has recently released two reports, one on the epidemiology of UOGD and the other on the potential environmental exposures arising from UOGD. Read both here: https://hei-energy.org/publications

Dr. Sarant is also featured in a video summary available here: https://hei-energy.org/publication/potential-human-health-effects-associated-unconventional-oil-and-gas-development
