Fracking and Health: Ask an Expert
SAFE SETBACK DISTANCES

In our latest podcast, TEDX asks: “How can we determine safe setback distances from oil and gas operations?”

Hear answers from Dr. Marsha Haley, Physician and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Her concern over the proximity of wells to local schools led to a study on the adequacy of state setback distances in three shale plays. In this 8-minute podcast she discusses the factors that must be addressed to minimize risk when determining setback distances and recommends strategies for developing meaningful dialogue between affected communities and lawmakers.

About the Author: Lynne Fischer

We have an amazing group of concerned, dedicated activist citizens in this State. There are so many people and groups trying to make a difference in regard to our environment. But it isn't always easy to find out about all of the events happening or keep track of the efforts that New Mexicans are making to address global warming. So I created this website in order to have a single place to go for information, if you want to get involved in climate related activities. I believe that if we work together we have the numbers that can create a greater impact and more influence, which ultimately will help us achieve our multiple environmental goals.
