Another report about the health dangers of fracking came out today. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/fracking-increases-rate-asthma-attacks-nearby-residents/ The investigation found a patient living near one of these sites — known as unconventional natural gas development (UNGD) wells — was 1.5 times more likely to have a severe asthma attack and four times as likely to have a moderate attack. While the study doesn’t prove natural gas pollution caused the asthma attacks, it is likely to stir the debate over the health effects of fracking. “We are concerned with the growing number of studies that have observed health effects associated with this industry,” Dr. Brian Schwartz, senior author and environmental health scientist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said in a statement. “We believe it is time to take a more cautious approach to well development with an eye on environmental and public health impacts.”#hillno #frackno #election2016 #gogreen
