I’ve found the ‘Fracking Compendium” from the Physicians for Social Responsibility and Concerned Health Professionals of New York is well researched and useful for some of the basic data that you seek.

The compendium provides a wide assortment of data, analysis, and summaries on natural gas industrial infrastructure impacts, including pipelines and compressor stations. There’s numerous reports that you can reference in comments, letters, or testimony.

I’ve attached their 6th compendium edition for your and anyone else’s review and use. The science detail has grown in the compendium as more studies have been done.

Please use and enjoy. Let me know what you think of the compendium.

Be happy and well, Jeeva

I’m wondering if anyone may have information on the chemicals, pollutants, health issues, etc., they can send me related to people who live near these pipelines and compressor stations.

The pipeline that Jeeva talks about is part of the network of pipelines that run through WV, one arm of it runs through Monroe County. WV.

It is very small at 24 inches compared to the monster 42 inch MVP running near my home.

Frightening, but yet our entire County Commission is pro pipeline. One Commissioner even has numerous family members living in the blast zone of the pipeline and voiced concern about it until he was elected in 2018 and has now turned completely pro pipeline.

Sad very sad.

I have found it educational to include information re: pipeline explosions or toxic emissions in many of my comments to civilian review boards, local, state, and federal representatives, and particularly for county supervisors and planners. Most of these officials have little scientific and factual information on the danger of pipelines.

Our Buckingham County administrator told me that she was impressed by our videos of pipeline explosions and that of an infrared video of a toxic gas cloud hovering over a compressor station and then moving sideways from wind. Actual graphic representation of the danger from these pipelines seems to drive the point home to those who simply can’t imagine how anything bad can happen or those who dismiss those accidents or toxic impacts.

My favorite go-to video of a recent horrific pipeline explosion is the video taken by drivers when they came across the huge natural gas pipeline explosion adjacent to Highway 77 in Sissonville West Virginia. The drivers are shocked and describe the scene quite well. The fire shut the highway down, burned 5 homes, had people running for their lives, and melted the asphalt. It clearly demonstrates why these pipelines are a threat to human life, property, and the environment.

Here is the link to the video:
