Health Forum on Fracking and Health- 4/18

ANHE is pleased to co-sponsor the upcoming event featuring our own Barbara Sattler as a panelist: Drilling Down into Health Impacts: the Effects of Oil and Gas on California's Communities, on April 18th at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Sacramento (1300 N Street).

From the fracking fields in Kern County to urban oil drilling in Los Angeles, community members are feeling the impacts of this toxic industry on their own health, and that of their children and loved ones. The California Council on Science and Technology - an independent body of high level scientists - released an independent study last July highlighting some of the public health dangers of fossil fuel production.They even recommended creating human health buffer zones for people living near oil and gas operations to keep them from getting sick, but so far the Governor and the rest of our elected officials have failed to take action.

That's why we're bringing together individuals from some of the most severely impacted communities in California, along with legislators, health professionals and scientists for Drilling Down Into Health Impacts: The effects of oil and gas on California's Communities. We'll hear their personal stories of the challenges that come with living next to toxic drill sites and fracking wells, and learn the science behind their experiences. We'll come away with a clear idea of what is really happening in those fields. It's worse than we thought.

Won't you join us?
