2015:(not funded) Sobecky, P., Cemen, I, & Whisenant, D. Coupling Fundamental Science with Community Engagement on Environmental Exposure and Health Risks Associated with Hydraulic Fracturing. We propose to couple fundamental research to study the risk of hydraulic fracturing on human health and its effect on our environment with communications and engagement of the public on dissemination of environmental health sciences as it relates to hydraulic fracturing and approaches such as biological remediation processes to mitigate risks to human health. The first objective of our project is to develop an innovative and inexpensive strategy to heal the human-made fractures after most (if not all) of the oil and gas are depleted from an unconventional field. The second objective is to assess the potential health risk related to hydraulic fracking to the individual and within communities.
