On Tuesday, about 40 anti-fracking activists with New Yorkers Against Fracking (a coalition of 60 groups) held a rally in front of the Department of Environmental Conservation «s headquarters in Albany, demanding a human health study be added to the department's
ongoing environmental impact study.
The
study, published in the journal
Environmental Research Letters, examined if
ongoing power transmission capacity investment in China — driven largely by concerns over air pollution — could also reduce local adverse health
impacts from air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
