Description
On December 20, 2011, Healthy Schools Network and a range of other children’s health advocates called on New York State to consider the impacts of proposed hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) on the state’s children and schools. The groups urged the New York State Department of Conservation, Department of Health, and Education Department to thoroughly assess the possible health impacts of the proposed hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale region and provided detailed recommendations on elements the assessment should include.
