Health

Research in the area of human health impacts has led to the development of a study framework to investigate possible human health impacts associated with gas activities

Further health studies can be developed using this staged framework to ensure research is scientifically robust and meets community expectations. Read about our current health studies on the impacts of CSG development below.

Exposure assessment of identified chemicals used in CSG activities

This project further assesses the potential human health impacts of the identified chemicals within the GISERA Health 2 project study area

CSG well head Surat Basin

Analysis of dust near CSG sites to assess potential for respirable crystalline silica

This project will assess the potential hazard posed by respirable crystalline silica by investigating the composition of dust and size distributions of the different constituents in the GISERA Health 2 project study area in the Surat Basin, Queensland
