Potential Human Health Effects Associated with Unconventional Oil and Gas Development: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiology Literature (FINAL REPORT)
Special Report 1
This report reviews the epidemiology research that assesses whether exposure to unconventional oil and natural gas development (UOGD) might lead to adverse health effects. The HEI-Energy Research Committee (the “Committee”) conducted this review as part of a larger effort to understand the state of the science about potential exposure and health effects from UOGD. The Committee will use results from this review and a companion review of literature on potential human exposures to inform HEI-Energy’s planning for research to better understand potential exposures associated with UOGD.
