A Feb. 2012 review from New York's Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah states that "significant adverse impacts on human health are not expected from routine HVHF (hydrofracking) operations." Contrary to every significant charge leveled by opponents, the unreleased review finds that "the state's proposed regulations would prevent any potential health risks from air emissions, water contamination, and radioactive materials unearthed during the drilling process." The proposed safeguards under the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement are even stronger..."- http://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/Promise-of-natural-gas-key-to-future-4237570.php -Brendan |
