The Dept. of Environmental Protection announced it has started a long-term, one-year air monitoring study of Marcellus Shale development. The study in Washington County, PA will measure ambient airborne pollutants in an effort to determine potential air quality impacts with the processing and associated transmission of unconventional natural gas. “We operate on facts and sound science, and this study will provide us with data on long-term air quality in an area of active natural gas extraction,” DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. “There has been a documented downward trend in airborne pollutants across the state over the past 10 years, and Marcellus Shale development holds the promise of emissions benefits from the use of this cleaner-burning fuel in the transportation and electricity generation sectors.” Click Here For Complete Article Text
