The state of Pennsylvania had researchers study potential health impacts from fracking in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The team released the findings at a public meeting in California, PA early this month. They found children living near shale gas activities in Southwest Pennsylvania had a higher risk of developing lymphoma. But the group found no association between oil and gas activity and other childhood cancers, including Ewing’s sarcoma. A summary of the study, its results, and a full downloadable report can be found at https://paenv.pitt.edu/results.html
