Over the past
few months, this site brought together and complied information on the oil and
gas sector for public health practitioners who may look at health impacts. The story here began with an item that was
getting wide circulation but did not reflect the actual public health risks
from the study
Oct 28, 2013 study. It turned into an endeavor to document what
is known.

Specific other linkages of note
One new
resource is the Trans Mountain (Kinder-Morgan)
application which includes in sections on human
health risk assessment beginning in the 3rd Volume of Part 5c of the
application – section 7.5.8 on page 7-242.
It is a prime example of health being “buried deep” in the consideration
of the project as the application extends over 15,000 pages.
This site
would like to stimulate further reports on public health impacts and concerns
relative to the energy sector in general and specifically the booming oil and
gas sector. Please comment or forward
resources that others may utilize. Those
wishing to remain anonymous can communicate in confidence to drphealth@gmail.com
