Birth Outcomes and Maternal Residential Proximity to Natural Gas Development in Rural Colorado

BACKGROUND Birth defects are a leading cause of neonatal mortality. Natural gas development (NGD) emits several potential teratogens, and U.S. production of natural gas is expanding. OBJECTIVES We examined associations between maternal residential proximity to NGD and birth outcomes in a retrospective cohort study of 124,842 births between 1996 and 2009 in rural Colorado. METHODS We calcula...

Birth Defects and Mothers’ Proximity to Natural Gas Development: Is There a Connection?

More than 15 million Americans are now estimated to live within one mile of a natural gas well drilled since 2000. Research has demonstrated that natural gas development results in the emission of pollutants that include suspected developmental toxicants, such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes, 2 although few studies have investi­ gated the public health impact of these emissions. In this issue ...
