Health

This research area has developed a study framework to investigate possible human health impacts associated with coal seam gas activities. Studies can be developed using this staged framework to ensure research is scientifically robust and meets community expectations.

Assessing the exposure of identified chemicals used in the coal seam gas (CSG) activities in the Surat Basin, Queensland

Improving the understanding of the potential presence, distribution and exposure of identified chemicals associated with CSG activities in the Surat Basin, in southern Queensland.

Screening for potential hazards to human health from CSG activities

Scientists from CSIRO and The University of Queensland (UQ) have released results of a five-year research project - Identification and screening for potential physical hazards to human health from coal seam gas activities at a study site in the Surat Basin, southern Queensland.
