In just a few hours, join the first session of Making the Invisible Visible, our webinar and Q&A on air pollution and inadequate regulation in the Ohio River Valley. Ohio regulatory agencies' inadequate monitoring and oversight of fracking-related air pollution in Belmont County endangers our health and livelihoods, especially if an ethane cracker plant is also built in the region. Join us this evening to learn more! Register for our webinar and Q&A TONIGHT from 6:30pm to 8:00pm EST.
If you can't make it tonight, we're hosting a second session of Making the Invisible Visible on Thursday, November 19th at 6:30pm. Save the date and register here.
The Ohio River Valley is already endangered by the cumulative pollution caused by the fracking industry, including toxic chemicals and radioactive particulate matter. Learn more about how you can protect yourself by participating in a community monitoring program to establish baseline air quality data and advise residents of their exposures and associated health effects.
See who’s attending our event on Facebook.
What you’ll get from tonight's presentation:
Information on the potential health risks posed by proximity to shale gas wells and other fracking-related facilities.
An understanding of state regulatory agencies’ complicity in allowing petrochemical facilities to emit potentially dangerous levels of chemical pollutants into the air we breathe.
The opportunity to discuss air pollution in Belmont County with scientists, air monitoring experts, public health professionals, and community advocates during a 30-minute Q&A session.
This presentation was made possible with the help of the Freshwater Accountability Project, the American Geophysical Union’s Thriving Earth Exchange, Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab, FracTracker Alliance, Concerned Ohio River Residents, Halt the Harm Network, and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project.
Thanks for reading! We look forward to seeing you tonight,
