Flaring from unconventional oil and gas development and birth outcomes in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas
Background: Prior studies suggest exposure to oil and gas development (OGD) adversely
affects birth outcomes, but no studies have examined flaring—the open combustion of
natural gas—from OGD. Objectives: We investigated whether residential proximity to flaring
from OGD was associated with shorter gestation and reduced fetal growth in the Eagle Ford
Shale of south Texas. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using
administrative birth records from 2012 to 2015 (N= 23,487) and satellite observations of …
