Community & Health Impacts of Oil & Gas Development
October 27, 2016

The very recent advent of large scale oil and gas production adjacent to residential areas has raised concerns about the effects of increased air pollution on nearby residents. For example, the 2013 yearly average levels of certain air pollutants in populated portions of Weld county with large scale O&G were over 10 times higher than levels in down town Los Angeles and downtown Houston. O&G companies are now applying for large scale O&G development adjacent to neighborhoods in Broomfield.  What may happen to homeowner’s health when this large scale O&G production proliferates in Broomfield neighborhoods?

 

Therefore, Anthem and Wildgrass homeowners have arranged for internationally recognized and highly published scientists to present on the health questions that may arise in neighborhoods such as ours due to nearby O&G production. Part of their research is funded by a $12Million national grant by the National Institutes Of Health focused on Colorado, one the largest research projects of its kind in the nation. Broomfield homeowners are encouraged to attend. The presentations will be on November 3rd from 7:00pm-9:00pm at the Renaissance Boulder Flatirons Hotel in Broomfield.
