More than 500,000 Americans live within 3 miles of natural gas flares
More than a half-million Americans are exposed to oil and gas “flaring” events the burning off of excess natural gas at production sites resulting in potentially serious health risks, according to new research from USC and UCLA.
“Our findings show that flaring is an environmental justice issue,” said Jill Johnston, an environmental health scientist and assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
“We found that a significant number of Black, Indigenous and Latinx people live near flaring. High rates of poverty and other barriers to health in rural areas such as a lack of access to health care could worsen the health effects of flaring-related exposures.” ....

Over half million Americans are exposed to oil and gas “flaring” events
Researchers from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and the University of Southern California have found that more than a half million Americans are exposed to oil and gas flaring events -; the burning off of excess natural gas at production sites -; resulting in potentially serious health risks.
There is growing evidence linking residence near unconventional oil and gas operations with negative health impacts for nearby residents, including impacts on fetal growth and preterm birth, said Dr. Lara Cushing, assistant professor of environmental health sciences at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. This includes our recent finding that living within about three miles of flaring is associated with increased risk of preterm birth. ....
