Shale gas development in PA increases exposure of some to air pollutants

Credit: Penn State Air pollution levels may have exceeded air quality standards during the development of some Marcellus Shale natural gas wells in Pennsylvania, potentially impacting more than 36,000 people in one year alone during the drilling boom, according to Penn State scientists. The construction and drilling of these wells are a relatively short-term thing, and assessment of the impact on air quality is something that often falls through the cracks, said Jeremy Gernand, associate professor of industrial health and safety at Penn State. But there are thousands and thousands of wells drilled depending on the year, and we wanted to see what the impact would be if we added it all up.
