The plastic lifecycle starts with oil and gas extraction and extends through manufacturing, consumer use, and waste management.
David Azoulay, Director of the Environmental Health Program at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and coauthor of “Plastic & Health: The Hidden Costs of a Plastic Planet” report, details potential exposures and health impacts at each stage of the plastic lifecycle. He suggests that organizations collaborate to create one compelling narrative addressing the entire lifecycle, working together to find solutions to plastic’s toxic legacy.

Episode 9: Can noise from fracking operations affect your health? with Dr. Michael McCawley
Industrial noise pollution is generated during development of an unconventional oil and gas well site.
Dr. Michael McCawley, Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at West Virginia University, discusses the adverse health impacts associated with stress from environmental noise exposure. He describes the factors contributing to noise levels during well pad development and how mitigation measures and setbacks may not effectively protect residents.
