Infrared camera used to show emissions from shale drilling
Sunday, November 29, 2015
Not all shale drilling emissions are visible to the naked eye, but with an infrared gas-recording camera, many more pollutants can be seen.
Akron Beacon Journal reports that Earthworks has a camera with such a lens, and this summer, the Washington, D.C.-based national environmental group came to Ohio’s Utica shale to record drilling emissions that were going unseen. Some landowners living near wells are convinced that the emissions are causing health problems and environmental issues, like killing trees.
Next year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency intends to put new rules in place that would cut emissions from shale drilling.
