TEDX has released a new spreadsheet and summary of the potential health effects of chemicals identified in nearly 1,000 products used in natural gas operations.
For nearly half of the products, less than 1% of the ingredients were disclosed. Demands for full disclosure must require product manufacturers to reveal 100% of the ingredients in their products. This is necessary for effective air and water quality monitoring to protect public health and the environment.
HEALTH EFFECTS SPREADSHEET AND SUMMARY
TEDX maintains a publicly available database of the potential health effects of chemicals used during natural gas operations. It is presented here in an Excel file format for easy searching and sorting. The list currently contains nearly 1,000 products, but it is by no means complete. The data are summarized and discussed in the Summary Statement.
