Children who lived closer to natural gas wells in heavily drilled western Pennsylvania were more likely to develop a relatively rare form of cancer, and nearby residents of all ages had an increased chance of severe asthma reactions, researchers said in reports released Tuesday evening.
The taxpayer-funded research by the University of Pittsburgh adds to a body of evidence suggesting links between the gas industry and certain health problems.
In the reports, the researchers found what they called significant associations between gas industry activity and two ailments: asthma, and lymphoma in children, who are relatively rarely diagnosed with this type of cancer.
The researchers were unable to say whether the drilling caused the health problems, because the studies weren’t designed to do that. Instead, the researchers combed health records to try to determine possible associations based on how close people lived to natural gas wells, while industry groups pointed to what they say are weaknesses of the studies’ assumptions and the limitations of its data. …

How frequent are “scientific” retractions these days, again?
Maybe this means the elites aren’t fooling enough people with the climate scam. So they need new propaganda to justify outlawing oil and gas.
Pure BS!
Did they use proximity to wells or consider prevailing winds?
Did they consider that Pennsylvania has considerable uranium deposits that when decaying give off radon gas, a common problem in Pennsylvania homes. Radon gas causes these same symptoms.
No, as that didn’t fit their predetermined narrative.
And speaking of lymphoma...
The Safety of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines: Vigilance Is Still Required
What a coinkydink.
It’s not fracking, is it.
I think I'm closer to the mark than the weenies who put out this "study"...
Do people living near hospitals that get sick and need hospitalization link they’re illnesses requiring hospitalization to hospitals?
That’s about as scientific study as this one.
I rarely read articles, and this one will be no exception. Besides, the headline alone triggers my, “I don’t believe this nonsense” response. I need nothing else.
I’ll bet it does. This is the kind of crap that they keep pushing. Ignore ignore ignore.
“Suggests”, that’s good enough for me…
How about a study linking inactive kids that spend all of their time in doors, in climate controlled buildings and asthma and cancer?
Most kids today rarely see the sun.
Most of these problems would be solved by getting kids outdoors and working, playing and away from TV and video games.
And it causes fires in Hawaii.
So, why is it only in Pennsylvania? Thar’s fraced wells all over Texas and adjoining states.
Don’t spell it the way the media does to make it sound heinous. It is fracing, short for fracturing.
Fracking causes your toast to land butter-side down when you drop it too.
Sounds fake, but petroleum is a filthy business. They dump fracking fluid and drilling mud. Both sides are evil.
